DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will give an overview of my research in machine
  learning for natural language processing. I will begin by introducing my 
 work on imitation learning\, a machine learning paradigm I have used to de
 velop novel algorithms for structure prediction that have been applied suc
 cessfully to a number of tasks such as semantic parsing\, natural language
  generation and information extraction. Key advantages are the ability to 
 handle large output search spaces and to learn with non-decomposable loss 
 functions. Following this\, I will discuss my work on zero-shot learning u
 sing neural networks\, which enabled us to learn models that can predict l
 abels for which no data was observed during training. I will conclude with
  my work on automated fact-checking\, a challenge we proposed in order to 
 stimulate progress in machine learning\, natural language processing and\,
  more broadly\, artificial intelligence.
