Abstract

We discuss technology capable to learn language without supervision. While the entire goal may be too ambitious and not achievable to full extent, we explore how far we can advance grammar learning. We present the current approach employed in the open source OpenCog Artificial Intelligence Platform, describe the cognitive pipeline being constructed and present some intermediate results.
