An experiment with ontology mapping using concept similarity
This paper describes a system for automatically mapping between concepts in different ontologies. The motivation for the research stems from the Diogene project, in which the project's own ontology covering the ICT domain is mapped to external ontologies, in order that their associated content can automatically be included in the Diogene system. An approach involving measuring the similarity of concepts is introduced, in which standard Information Retrieval indexing techniques are applied to concept descriptions. A matrix representing the similarity of concepts in two ontologies is generated, and a mapping is performed based on two parameters: the domain coverage of the ontologies, and their levels of granularity. Finally, some initial experimentation is presented which suggests that our approach meets the project's unique set of requirements
Program Synthesis using Natural Language
Interacting with computers is a ubiquitous activity for millions of people.
Repetitive or specialized tasks often require creation of small, often one-off,
programs. End-users struggle with learning and using the myriad of
domain-specific languages (DSLs) to effectively accomplish these tasks.
We present a general framework for constructing program synthesizers that
take natural language (NL) inputs and produce expressions in a target DSL. The
framework takes as input a DSL definition and training data consisting of
NL/DSL pairs. From these it constructs a synthesizer by learning optimal
weights and classifiers (using NLP features) that rank the outputs of a
keyword-programming based translation. We applied our framework to three
domains: repetitive text editing, an intelligent tutoring system, and flight
information queries. On 1200+ English descriptions, the respective synthesizers
rank the desired program as the top-1 and top-3 for 80% and 90% descriptions
respectively
AttnGAN: Fine-Grained Text to Image Generation with Attentional Generative Adversarial Networks
In this paper, we propose an Attentional Generative Adversarial Network
(AttnGAN) that allows attention-driven, multi-stage refinement for fine-grained
text-to-image generation. With a novel attentional generative network, the
AttnGAN can synthesize fine-grained details at different subregions of the
image by paying attentions to the relevant words in the natural language
description. In addition, a deep attentional multimodal similarity model is
proposed to compute a fine-grained image-text matching loss for training the
generator. The proposed AttnGAN significantly outperforms the previous state of
the art, boosting the best reported inception score by 14.14% on the CUB
dataset and 170.25% on the more challenging COCO dataset. A detailed analysis
is also performed by visualizing the attention layers of the AttnGAN. It for
the first time shows that the layered attentional GAN is able to automatically
select the condition at the word level for generating different parts of the
image
