Over two decades ago a “quite revolution” overwhelmingly replaced knowledgebased approaches in natural language processing (NLP) by quantitative (e.g., statistical, corpus-based, machine learning) methods. Although it is our firm belief that purely quantitative approaches cannot be the only paradigm for NLP, dissatisfaction with purely engineering approaches to the construction of large knowled...
متن کاملLanguage, logic and ontology: Uncovering the structure of commonsense knowledge
The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) we argue that the structure of commonsense knowledge must be discovered, rather than invented; and (ii) we argue that natural language, which is the best known theory of our (shared) commonsense knowledge, should itself be used as a guide to discovering the structure of commonsense knowledge. In addition to suggesting a systematic method to the discover...

This paper is concerned with the problem of what ontological knowledge underlies the semantic structures of natural language. It discusses some proposals made by workers in philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science and artificial intelligence in the last few years. Section 1 sketches the basic view in regard to the relationship between ontology and semantics. Section 2 points out the importanc...
متن کاملA Note on Ontology and Ordinary Language
We argue for a compositional semantics grounded in a strongly typed ontology that reflects our commonsense view of the world and the way we talk about it. Assuming such a structure we show that the semantics of various natural language phenomena may become nearly trivial.

This paper examines popular ‘conventionalist’explanations of why philosophers need not back up their claims about how ‘we’use our words with empirical studies of actual usage. It argues that such explanations are incompatible with a number of currently popular and plausible assumptions about language’s ‘social’ character. Alternate explanations of the philosopher’s purported entitlement to make...
