SUMMARY:Brown bag: Yoav Artzi
DESCRIPTION:Title: Context and Non-compositional Phenomena in Language
	 Understanding\nSpeaker: Yoav Artzi\nAbstract: Sentence meaning can be
	 recovered by composing the meaning of words following the syntactic
	 structure. However\, robust understanding requires considering
	 non-compositional and contextual cues as well. For example\, a robot
	 following instructions must consider its observations to accurately
	 complete its task. Similarly\, to correctly map temporal expressions
	 within a document to standard time values\, a system must consider
	 previously mentioned events. In this talk\, I will address such
	 phenomena within compositional approaches\, and focus on the
	 non-compositional parts of the reasoning process. I will also review
	 some of our ongoing research in this space.
