Abstract

Essential to meaningful interaction is grounding at the symbolic, conversational, and societal levels. We present ongoing work with Anki's Cozmo toy robot as a research platform where we leverage the recent words-as-classifiers model of lexical semantics in interactive reference resolution tasks for language grounding.
