Abstract

A major goal of grounded language learning research is to enable robots to connect language predicates to a robot's physical interactive perception of the world.Coupling object exploratory behaviors such as grasping, lifting, and looking with multiple sensory modalities (e.g., audio, haptics, and vision) enables a robot to ground non-visual words like ``heavy'' as well as visual words like ``red''.A major limitation of existing approaches to multi-modal language grounding is that a robot has to exhaustively explore training objects with a variety of actions when learning a new such language predicate.This paper proposes a method for guiding a robot's behavioral exploration policy when learning a novel predicate based on known grounded predicates and the novel predicate's linguistic relationship to them.We demonstrate our approach on two datasets in which a robot explored large sets of objects and was tasked with learning to recognize whether novel words applied to those objects.

A major goal of grounded language learning research is to enable robots to 
connect language predicates to a robot's physical interactive perception of
 the world.
Coupling object exploratory behaviors such as grasping, lifting, and looking
 with multiple sensory modalities (e.g., audio, haptics, and vision) enables a 
 robot to ground non-visual words like ``heavy'' as well as visual words like 
 ``red''.
A major limitation of existing approaches to multi-modal language grounding is 
that a robot has to exhaustively explore training objects with a variety of 
 actions when learning a new such language predicate.
This paper proposes a method for guiding a robot's behavioral exploration
 policy when learning a novel predicate based on known grounded predicates and the novel predicate's linguistic relationship to them.
We demonstrate our approach on two datasets in which a robot explored large
 sets of objects and was tasked with learning to recognize whether novel words 
 applied to those objects.
