متن کاملArtificial Intelligence Techniques for Understanding Gothic Cathedrals
This paper introduces a work in progress on a new research topic for artificial intelligence. It presents the first stages of research that investigates the capacities of AI to understand the architectural rules that define historic architecture: specifically those of Gothic cathedrals. Gothic architecture has its own logic. It follows rules that are defined by physical and structural constrain...

متن کاملNON-MONOTONIC KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION AND REASONING FOR NATURAL DESCRIPTION OF GOTHIC CATHEDRALS by TYLER
NATURAL DESCRIPTION OF GOTHIC CATHEDRALS by TYLER GREGG CARLSON (Under the Direction of Walter D. Potter) ABSTRACT The goal of the Architecture Represented Computationally (ARC) project is to transform user input or scholarly written descriptions of Gothic cathedrals into logical representations, allowing consistency validation, query-answering, and generation of precise descriptions or visuali...
متن کاملThe ARC Project: Creating logical models of Gothic cathedrals using natural language processing
The ARC project (for Architecture Represented Computationally) is an attempt to reproduce in computer form the architectural historian’s mental model of the Gothic cathedral. This model includes the background information necessary to understand a natural language architectural description. Our first task is to formalize the description of Gothic cathedrals in a logical language, and provide a ...
