Co-learning nouns and adjectives

Abstract

In cognitive robotics community, categories belonging to adjectives and nouns have been learned separately and independently. In this article, we propose a prototype-based framework that conceptualize adjectives and nouns as separate categories that are, however, linked to and interact with each other. We demonstrate how this co-learned concepts might be useful for a cognitive robot, especially using a game called “What object is it?” that involves finding an object based on a set of adjectives.
