چکیده
Semantic Networks have been used p r i m a r i l y in na tu ra l language app l i ca t i ons to help disambiguate sentences and to understand na tu ra l language t e x t . In t h i s paper we consider the use of a semantic network to a id in the deduct ive search process of a Question-Answering (QA System. The semantic network is based on an adaptat i o n of the pred icate ca lcu lus and is described on ly b r i e f l y in t h i s paper and more ex tens ive ly by McSkimin and Minker (McSkimin [19761, and McSkimin and Minker [1977] ) . Terminology from the pred ica te ca lcu lus w i l l be used throughout the paper.

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملUsing a Semantic Wiki as a Knowledge Source for Rich Modeling and Question Answering
The traditional focus of knowledge engineering has been to acquire knowledge that can be used in deductive inference. Acquiring such knowledge invariably requires users to undergo extensive training. There are, however, aspects of the knowledge necessary for deductive inference that require much less training and sophistication. For example, capturing knowledge involving ground facts and concep...

We report on the knowledge representation mechanism designed for natural language question-answering system to function in such poorly-formalized and heterogeneous domains as the financial, legal, pharmaceutical and psychological. The system is oriented to provide a customized expert advice, given the pre-designed set of textual templates and the database that contains customers' profiles and p...

We have constructed a deductive question answeri ng system which accepts natura l language input in Japanese. The semantic trees of aseert ional input sentences are stored in a semantic network and i n t e r re la t i onsh ips —cond i t i ona l , imp l i ca t i ona l , and so f o r t h — are establ ished among them. A matching rou t ine looks for the semantic trees which have some r e l a t i o...
