Introduction to the special issue on learning semantics

A key ambition of AI is to render computers able to evolve and interact with the real world.This can be made possible only if the machine is able to produce an interpretation of its avail-able modalities (image, audio, text, etc.) which can be used to support reasoning and takingappropriate actions. Computational linguists use the term
