CKASP

CKASP stands for the Collaborative Knowledge-Assisted Semantic Parsing project. It is a research initiative focused on improving the accuracy and efficiency of semantic parsing, a task that involves converting natural language into a structured, machine-readable format, often a query language or logical form. The core idea behind CKASP is to leverage collaboration between humans and machines to enhance the parsing process.

Traditional semantic parsing often relies solely on machine learning models, which can struggle with ambiguity and require large amounts of labeled training data. CKASP aims to address these limitations by integrating human expertise into the parsing pipeline. This collaboration can take various forms, such as allowing human annotators to correct parsing errors, provide contextual information, or guide the model's decision-making process.

The project explores different methods for facilitating this human-machine interaction, including active learning strategies where the model identifies instances that would benefit most from human feedback. By learning from these interactions, the semantic parser can improve its performance over time with less manual annotation effort. CKASP's research contributes to developing more robust and adaptable semantic parsing systems, which are crucial for applications like natural language interfaces, question answering, and data analysis.
