Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for selecting actions to be performed by an agent interacting with an environment. In one aspect, a system includes a language encoder model that is configured to receive a text string in a particular natural language, and process the text string to generate a text embedding of the text string. The system includes an observation encoder neural network that is configured to receive an observation characterizing a state of the environment, and process the observation to generate an observation embedding of the observation. The system includes a subsystem that is configured to obtain a current text embedding of a current text string and a current observation embedding of a current observation. The subsystem is configured to select an action to be performed by the agent in response to the current observation.

Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can include receiving, at a server, labeled training data including a plurality of groups of words, each group of words having a predicate word, each word having generic word embeddings. The technique can include extracting, at the server, the plurality of groups of words in a syntactic context of their predicate words. The technique can include concatenating, at the server, the generic word embeddings to create a high dimensional vector space representing features for each word. The technique can include obtaining, at the server, a model having a learned mapping from the high dimensional vector space to a low dimensional vector space and learned embeddings for each possible semantic frame in the low dimensional vector space. The technique can also include outputting, by the server, the model for storage, the model being configured to identify a specific semantic frame for an input.
