Virtual Linked Lexical Knowledge Base for Causality Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
The A virtually linked knowledge base is designed to utilize a pre-constructed knowledge base in a dynamic mode when it is in actual use. An algorithm is proposed for causality reasoning based on a set of lexical knowledge bases that contain information about such items as event role, is-a hierarchy, relevant relation, antonym, and other features. These lexical knowledge bases have mainly made use of lexical features and symbols in HowNet. Several types of questions are experimented to test the effectiveness of the algorithm here proposed. In particular, questions of the form why are treated to show how causality reasoning works.

Question-Answering based on virtually integrated lexical knowledge base
This paper proposes an algorithm for causality inference based on a set of lexical knowledge bases that contain information about such items as event role, is-a hierarchy, relevant relation, antonymy, and other features. These lexical knowledge bases have mainly made use of lexical features and symbols in HowNet. Several types of questions are experimented to test the effectiveness of the algor...
متن کاملWhat Can Be Inferred Without Embracive World-Knowledge
This paper deals with a special type of automatic reasoning—a process of inference of new facts from a knowledge base. The presented type is not based on large embracive common-sense knowledge-base and wide-ranging ontology. Rather, it takes advantage of universal lexical database in the form of semantic network and also universal hypotheses that concern conversational implicatures.
متن کاملDetecting and Explaining Causes From Text For a Time Series Event
Explaining underlying causes or effects about events is a challenging but valuable task. We define a novel problem of generating explanations of a time series event by (1) searching cause and effect relationships of the time series with textual data and (2) constructing a connecting chain between them to generate an explanation. To detect causal features from text, we propose a novel method bas...
متن کاملAn Approach to Building the Hierarchical Element of a Lexical Knowledge Base from a Machine Readable Dictionary. an Approach to Building the Hierarchical Element of a Lexical Knowledge Base from a Machine Readable Dictionary 1
This abstract describes an approach to extracting taxonomies from machine readable dictionaries and using them to structure a lexical knowledge base which incorporates default inheritance. Taxonomy construction is based on an intuitive notion of the organisation of the substantial quantities of data in machine readable dictionaries which were developed for quite independent purposes. Our intent...
متن کاملLexical Databases as a Base for Broad Coverage Ontologies
The paper deals with current lexical databases that are seen as a basis for broad-coverage general-purpose ontologies. Various extensions and refinements of existing multilingual lexical knowledge bases are proposed with the aim of improving the capabilities of these resources. The main goal lies in the effort to gain a better lexical knowledge representation, which is crucial to coping with th...
