Unlike traditional machine learning methods, humans often learn from natural language instruction. As users become increasingly accustomed to interacting with computer devices using speech, their interest in instructing these devices in natural language is likely to grow.
We present our Learning by Instruction Agent (LIA), an intelligent personal agent that users can teach to perform new action sequences to achieve new commands, using solely natural language interaction. LIA uses a CCG semantic parser to ground the semantics of each command in terms of primitive executable procedures defined in terms of the sensors and effectors of the agent. …
The design of fast, scalable, and correct concurrent systems remains a notoriously difficult task. Particularly problematic is the design of fast and scalable concurrent search data structures, which lie at the core of many modern systems.
In this talk, I will present generic solutions to address this problem. I will first present a set of patterns that when applied, result in concurrent search data structures that scale across different platforms, workloads, and metrics (universally). These patterns can be used to improve existing algorithms, as well as to design new concurrent data structure algorithms from scratch – thus greatly simplifying this process. …
