Abstract

Neural networks have been shown to replicate neural processing and in some cases intrinsically show features of semantic insight. It all starts with a word; a semantic parser converts words into meaning. Accurate parsing requires lexicons and grammar, two kinds of intelligence that machines are just starting to gain. As the neural networks get better and better, there will be more demand for machines to parse words into meaning through a system like this. The goal of this paper is to introduce the reader to a new method of semantic parsing with the use of vanilla or ordinary recurrent neural networks. This paper briefly discusses how mathematical formulation for recurrent neural networks (RNNs) could be utilized for tackling sparse matrices. Understanding how neural networks work is key to handling some of the most common errors that might come up with semantic parsers. This is because decisions are generated based on data from text inputs. At first, we present a copying method to speed up semantic parsing and then support it with data augmentation.
