Summary
Generating Plots with Dialogue Based Executable Semantic Parsing. This project aims to address the limited abilities of dialogue systems by developing new models and data collection techniques. The project expects to address a major gap in Natural Language Processing using a model that generates computer code and updates it in response to user requests. Expected outcomes of this project include a system that interacts with a user in plain English to analyse data, and efficient methods of trainin ....Generating Plots with Dialogue Based Executable Semantic Parsing. This project aims to address the limited abilities of dialogue systems by developing new models and data collection techniques. The project expects to address a major gap in Natural Language Processing using a model that generates computer code and updates it in response to user requests. Expected outcomes of this project include a system that interacts with a user in plain English to analyse data, and efficient methods of training the system with minimal expert input. This should provide significant benefits to research and business by broadening the accessibility and efficiency of data analysis, enabling faster and wiser decisions.Read moreRead less

Summary
WikiLinks: web-scale linking and fact extraction with Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the most popular web site for finding facts, but articles about local or specialist topics are often missing or unreliable. WikiLinks will use artificial intelligence to link names in text to corresponding Wikipedia articles, allowing us to automatically create and augment Wikipedia content by summarising existing material on the web.
Talking about place: tapping human knowledge to enrich national spatial data sets. Place descriptions are a common way for people to describe a location, but no current tools are smart enough to understand them. Emergency call centres are risking lives, users of navigation or web services are frustrated and addressing these problems costs billions of dollars per year. This project comes with a novel, interdisciplinary approach to automatically interpret human place descriptions and will develop ....Talking about place: tapping human knowledge to enrich national spatial data sets. Place descriptions are a common way for people to describe a location, but no current tools are smart enough to understand them. Emergency call centres are risking lives, users of navigation or web services are frustrated and addressing these problems costs billions of dollars per year. This project comes with a novel, interdisciplinary approach to automatically interpret human place descriptions and will develop novel methods to capture placenames with their meaning for smarter databases and automatic interpretation procedures. This acquired knowledge will be an important step forward for Australia's data custodians and users. Australia's location information industry will gain a significant advantage on a highly competitive global market.Read moreRead less
