Frame Activated Inferences in a Story Understanding Program
نویسنده
چکیده
An effective story undcrstander must be able to reason about characters in the story, their affects, actions, plans, and goals, as well as the settings and important points of the story. In many systems this has been done with separate inference mechanisms for each class of knowledge structure. This paper proposes a story understander with a unified frame-based inference component used on each class of knowledge structure.

When Expectation Fails: Towards a Self-Correcting Inference System
Contextual understanding depends on a reader's ability to correctly infer a context within which to interpret the events in a story. This "context-selection problem" has traditionally been expressed in terms of heuristics for making the correct initial selection of a story context. This paper presents a view of context selection as an ongoing process spread throuqhout the understanding process....
متن کاملKnowledge-based Image Understanding
This paper introduces a novel approach to knowledge-based understanding of images. Our system maintains common-sense knowledge of many situations and uses this knowledge to analyze the input images and allows us to query the system for interesting inferences. The domain that we have chosen to implement our system deals with the images of pre-historic cave art. However, the approach is equally a...
متن کاملStory-enabled Hypothetical Reasoning
Story understanding is a central competence that illuminates all other aspects of human intelligence. In this work, I demonstrate how our story understanding ability sheds light on our ability to think in terms of hypothetical situations. Using the Genesis story understanding system as a substrate, I develop a story-enabled hypothetical reasoning system that models several high-level human abil...
متن کاملSix Problems for Story Understanders
Story understanding programs have been classified as script-based processors, goal-based processors or multi-level processors. Each program introduces a new knowledge structure and invents a mechanism to make inferences and manage memory for that knowledge structure. This can lead to a proliferation of incomplete, incompatible processing mechanisms. The alternative presented here is to concentr...
متن کاملA Computational Model of On-line Story Understanding
Models of story understanding in artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology typically concentrate on the construction of representations of story content. Construction of a 'complete' representation (informally equivalent to an 'understanding') requires inferences which establish coherence links between text statements. This report examines how reality-based links (e.g. causal connections...
