Résumé

Symbol emergence in robotics aims to develop a robot that can adapt to the real-world environment, human linguistic communications, and acquire language from sensorimotor information alone, i.e., in an unsupervised manner. This line of studies is essential not only for creating a robot that can collaborate with people through human-robot interactions but also for understanding human cognitive development. This invited lecture introduces the recent development of integrative probabilistic generative models for language learning, e.g., spatial concept formation with simultaneous localization and mapping, and vision of symbol emergence in robotics. I will also introduce challenges related to the integration of probabilistic generative models and deep learning for language learning by robots.
