چکیده

A key step in Natural Language Processing is creating representations of sentences and discourses. Sentences describe states and events. Thus a crucial component of semantically interpreting them is determining the temporal structure of the events they describe. We present a general and declarative approach to doing so. This approach is based on an algebraic semantics of events and objects.

CASEE: A Hierarchical Event Representation for the Analysis of Videos

A representational gap exists between low-level measurements (segmentation, object classification, tracking) and high-level understanding of video sequences. In this paper, we propose a novel representation of events in videos to bridge this gap, based on the CASE representation of natural languages. The proposed representation has three significant contributions over existing frameworks. First...

Temporal Ontology in Natural Language

A semantics of linguistic categories like tense, aspect, and certain temporal adverbials, and a theory of their use in defining the temporal relations of events, both require a more complex structure on the domain underlying the meaning representations than is commonly assumed. The paper proposes an ontology based on such notions as causation and consequence, rather than on purely temporal prim...
