  8. How to learn a R • Search for R that maximizes • Prerequisites • Put a prior over a hypothesis space of Rs. • Decide how observable data are generated from an underlying R.

  9. anything How to learn a R • Search for R that maximizes • Prerequisites • Put a prior over a hypothesis space of Rs. • Decide how observable data are generated from an underlying R.

  10. Context free grammar S  N VP VP  V N  “Alice” V  “scratched” VP  V N N  “Bob” V  “cheered” S S N VP N VP Alice V Alice V N cheered scratched Bob

  11. Probabilistic context free grammar 1.0 0.6 0.5 0.5 S  N VP VP  V N  “Alice” V  “scratched” 0.4 0.5 0.5 VP  V N N  “Bob” V  “cheered” 1.0 S S 1.0 N VP N VP 0.5 0.4 0.5 0.6 Alice V Alice V N 0.5 0.5 cheered scratched Bob probability = 1.0 * 0.5 * 0.6 = 0.3 probability = 1.0*0.5*0.4*0.5*0.5 = 0.05

  12. The learning problem Grammar G: 1.0 0.6 0.5 0.5 S  N VP VP  V N  “Alice” V  “scratched” 0.4 0.5 0.5 VP  V N N  “Bob” V  “cheered” Data D: Alice scratched. Bob scratched. Alice scratched Alice. Alice scratched Bob. Bob scratched Alice. Bob scratched Bob. Alice cheered. Bob cheered. Alice cheered Alice. Alice cheered Bob. Bob cheered Alice. Bob cheered Bob.

  13. Grammar learning • Search for G that maximizes • Prior: • Likelihood: • assume that sentences in the data are independently generated from the grammar. (Horning 1969; Stolcke 1994)

  14. Experiment • Data: 100 sentences ... (Stolcke, 1994)

  15. Generating grammar: Model solution:

  16. Predicate logic • A compositional language For all x and y, if y is the sibling of x then x is the sibling of y For all x, y and z, if x is the ancestor of y and y is the ancestor of z, then x is the ancestor of z.

  17. Learning a kinship theory Theory T: Sibling(victoria, arthur), Sibling(arthur,victoria), Ancestor(chris,victoria), Ancestor(chris,colin), Parent(chris,victoria), Parent(victoria,colin), Uncle(arthur,colin), Brother(arthur,victoria) Data D: … (Hinton, Quinlan, …)

  18. Learning logical theories • Search for T that maximizes • Prior: • Likelihood: • assume that the data include all facts that are true according to T (Conklin and Witten; Kemp et al 08; Katz et al 08)

  19. Theory-learning in the lab R(c,b) R(k,c) R(f,c) R(c,l) R(f,k) R(k,l) R(l,b) R(f,l) R(l,h) R(f,b) R(k,b) R(f,h) R(b,h) R(c,h) R(k,h) (cf Krueger 1979)

  22. Conclusion: Part 1 • Bayesian models can combine structured representations with statistical inference.

  23. Outline • Learning structured representations • grammars • logical theories • Learning at multiple levels of abstraction

  27. Universal Grammar Hierarchical phrase structure grammars (e.g., CFG, HPSG, TAG) P(grammar | UG) Grammar P(phrase structure | grammar) Phrase structure P(utterance | phrase structure) Utterance P(speech | utterance) Speech signal

  28. Hierarchical Bayesian model U Universal Grammar P(G|U) G Grammar P(s|G) s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 Phrase structure P(u|s) u1 u2 u3 u4 u5 u6 Utterance A hierarchical Bayesian model specifies a joint distribution over all variables in the hierarchy:P({ui}, {si}, G | U) = P ({ui} | {si}) P({si} | G) P(G|U)

  29. Top-down inferences U Universal Grammar G Grammar s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 Phrase structure u1 u2 u3 u4 u5 u6 Utterance Infer {si} given {ui}, G: P( {si} | {ui}, G) α P( {ui} | {si} ) P( {si} |G)

  30. Bottom-up inferences U Universal Grammar G Grammar s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 Phrase structure u1 u2 u3 u4 u5 u6 Utterance Infer G given {si} and U: P(G| {si}, U) α P( {si} | G) P(G|U)

  31. Simultaneous learning at multiple levels U Universal Grammar G Grammar s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6 Phrase structure u1 u2 u3 u4 u5 u6 Utterance Infer G and {si} given {ui} and U: P(G, {si} | {ui}, U) α P( {ui} | {si} )P({si} |G)P(G|U)

  32. Word learning Whole-object bias Shape bias Words in general Individual words car monkey duck gavagai Data

  33. A hierarchical Bayesian model physical knowledge Coins • Qualitative physical knowledge (symmetry) can influence estimates of continuous parameters (FH, FT). q~ Beta(FH,FT) FH,FT ... Coin 1 Coin 2 Coin 200 q200 q1 q2 d1d2 d3 d4 d1d2 d3 d4 d1d2 d3 d4 • Explains why 10 flips of 200 coins are better than 2000 flips of a single coin: more informative about FH, FT.

  34. Word Learning “This is a dax.” “Show me the dax.” • 24 month olds show a shape bias • 20 month olds do not (Landau, Smith & Gleitman)

  35. “lug” “wib” “zup” “div” Is the shape bias learned? • Smith et al (2002) trained 17-month-olds on labels for 4 artificial categories: • After 8 weeks of training 19-month-olds show the shape bias: “Show me the dax.” “This is a dax.”
