This PhD project will tackle fundamental challenges related to Integrative AI for Natural Language Understanding (NLU), through the combination and integration of state of the art neural models according to the following dimensions:
– neural models able to integrate data and knowledge from heterogeneous sources;
– neural models that are well integrated with societal needs;
– neural models that can be adapted into realistic and rich communicative contexts;
– neural models that can be combined to obtain comprehensive NLU models.
