Learning and conceptualizing words categories such as verbs, nouns and adjectives in language based on sensorimotor interactions of a robot is a challenging topic in cognitive robotics. In this article, we summarize our approach that is based on first learning affordances of objects by interacting with them, and then, learning and conceptualizing verbs, nouns and adjectives from these interactions.

Formation of adjective, noun and verb concepts through affordances Yürüten, Onur; Kalkan, Sinan; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) In this thesis, we study the development of linguistic concepts (corresponding to a subset of nouns, verbs and adjectives) on a humanoid robot. To accomplish this goal, we use affordances, a notion first proposed by J.J. Gibson to describe the action possibilities offered to an agent by the environment. Using the affordances formalization framework of Sahin et al., we have implemented a learning system on a humanoid robot and obtained the required data from the sensorimotor experiences of the robot. The sys...
Building a web of concepts on a humanoid robot Orhan, Güner; Kalkan, Sinan; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) In this thesis, an effective approach for predicting nouns, adjectives and verbs is introduced for more effective communication between a humanoid robot and a human actor. There are three important challenges addressed by our approach: The first one is the accurate prediction of words in language. Most of the existing robotics studies predict words in language using perceptual information only. However, due to noise and ambiguity in low-level sensory information, prediction using perceptual information is o...
Unsupervised Learning of Affordance Relations on a Humanoid Robot Akgun, Baris; Dag, Nilguen; Bilal, Tahir; Atil, Ilkay; Şahin, Erol (2009-09-16) In this paper, we study how the concepts learned by a robot can be linked to verbal concepts that humans use in language. Specifically, we develop a simple tapping behaviour on the iCub humanoid robot simulator and allow the robot to interact with a set of objects of different types and sizes to learn affordance relations in its environment. The robot records its perception, obtained from a range camera, as a feature vector, before and after applying tapping on an object. We compute effect features by subtr...
Co-learning nouns and adjectives Orhan, Guner; Olgunsoylu, Sertac; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (2013-08-22) 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.
Idioms as multi-word expressions in Turkish Güven, Arzu Burcu; Bozşahin, Hüseyin Cem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2020-10) Idioms constitute several challenges for both Natural Language Processing (NLP) and linguistic analysis. A better understanding of idioms will yield valuable insights about natural language as well as the way it is processed. The relevance of idioms, along with the fact that Turkish is a rather unexplored language from this perspective, motivates us to work on Turkish idioms. Here, we aim to demonstrate a grammatical study on Turkish idioms that were selected in accordance with distributional models.
