Bay Area AI: From Logic to English via Chart Parsing, Darryl McAdams

ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Scale By the Bay 2019 is held on November 13-15 in sunny Oakland, California, on the shores of Lake Merritt: https://scale.bythebay.io. Join us! ----- This talk with look at an old, but interesting, technique for generating text in English (or any other language!) from a logical representation of its meaning, using a generalization of chart parsing, and a clever "flat" representation of logical formulas. This technique can be used to easily handle non-local properties of meanings, such as quantification and question words.
