Symbolic Representation and Natural Language
نویسنده
چکیده
The notion of symbolizability is taken as the second requisite of computation (the first being 'algorithmizability'), and it is shown that symbols, qua symbols, are not symbolizable. This has farreaching consequences for the computational study of language and for Al-research in language understanding. The representation hypothesis is formulated, and its various assumptions and goals are examined. A research strategy for the computational study of natural language understanding is outlined.

The Status of Allegory and Symbolic Language in Quranic Stories: A Review and Critique of the Theory of Fantasization
One of the common views in contemporary Quranic research is the dialog on the existence of allegory and symbolic language in the Quran and Quranic stories. Citing such arguments as the common literary style between the Quranic stories and human stories, the use of symbols with specific modes of expression in the Quran and the cases in which the Divine intent is expressed through questions and a...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation Interactive System for Symbolic Mathematics
We present schematic architecture for Internet based Knowledge Representation Interactive System which deals with mathematics story problem solving. The aim of this work is to develop an interactive system to accept mathematics story problem, process and give natural language answer. Our system uses propositional semantic network approach in natural language processing system with constraint so...
متن کاملBridging the Gap between Language and Action
When communicating with animated agents in a virtual space through natural language dialogue, it is necessary to deal with vagueness of language. To deal with vagueness, in particular vagueness of spatial relation, this paper proposes a new representation of locations. The representation is designed to have bilateral character, symbolic and numeric, in order to bridge the gap between the symbol...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Optimization of Fuzzy Decision Tree in Data Mining
Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...
متن کاملA Hybrid and Connectionist Architecture for a Scanning Understanding
This paper describes a general architecture SCAN for hybrid symbolic connectionist processing of natural language phrases. SCAN's architecture shows how learned connectionist domain-dependent semantic representations can be combined with encoded symbolic syntactic representations. Within this general architecture we focus on a connectionist model for semantic classiication based on a scanning u...
