“Look, some green circles!”: learning to quantify from images Boleda, Gemma Sorodoc, Ionut-Teodor Lazaridou, Angeliki Herbelot, Aurélie Pezzelle, Sandro Bernardi, Raffaella Language and vision Grounding Quantification Distributed representations Semantics Computational semantics Computational Linguistics Natural Language Processing In this paper, we investigate whether a neural network model can learn the meaning of natural language quantifiers (no,some and all) from their use in visual contexts. We show that memory networks perform well in this task, and that explicit counting is not necessary to the system’s performance, supporting psycholinguistic evidence on the acquisition of quantifiers.
