Psychosemiotic Approach to Comprehension, or a Sense Text Model

A Psychology-Inspired Approach to Automated Narrative Text Comprehension

We report on an ongoing research program to develop a formal framework for automated narrative text comprehension, bringing together know-how from research in Artificial Intelligence and the Psychology of Reading and Comprehension. It uses argumentation to capture appropriate solutions to the frame, ramification, and qualification problems, and their generalizations as required for text compreh...
