Abductive Inference for Interpretation of Metaphors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a metaphor interpretation pipeline based on abductive inference. In this framework following (Hobbs, 1992) metaphor interpretation is modelled as a part of the general discourse processing problem, such that the overall discourse coherence is supported. We present an experimental evaluation of the proposed approach using linguistic data in English and Russian.

High-Precision Abductive Mapping of Multilingual Metaphors
Metaphor is a cognitive phenomenon exhibited in language, where one conceptual domain (the target) is thought of in terms of another (the source). The first level of metaphor interpretation is the mapping of linguistic metaphors to pairs of source and target concepts. Based on the abductive approach to metaphor interpretation proposed by Hobbs (1992) and implemented in the open-source Metaphor-...
متن کاملFuzzy Approaches to Abductive Inference
This paper proposes two kinds of fuzzy abductive inference in the framework of fuzzy rule base. The abductive inference processes described here depend on the semantic of the rule. We distinguish two classes of interpretation of a fuzzy rule, certainty generation rules and possible generation rules. In this paper we present the architecture of abductive inference in the first class of interpret...
متن کاملA Prolog-like Inference System for Computing Minimum-cost Abductive Explanations in Natural-language Interpretation (running Title: Prolog-like System for Abductive Explanations)
By determining what added assumptions would su ce to make the logical form of a sentence in natural language provable, abductive inference can be used in the interpretation of sentences to determine what information should be added to the listener's knowledge, i.e., what he should learn from the sentence. This is a comparatively new application of mechanized abduction. A new form of abduction|l...
متن کاملAbductive reasoning for image interpretation based on spatial concrete domains and description logics
Image interpretation aims not only at detecting and recognizing objects in a scene but also at deriving a semantic description considering contextual information in the whole scene. Image interpretation can be formalized as an abductive reasoning problem, i.e. an inference to the best explanation using a background knowledge. In this work, we present a framework using a tableau method for gener...
متن کاملCoordinating Understanding and Generation in an Abductive Approach to Interpretation
We use a dynamic, context-sensitive approach to abductive interpretation to describe coordinated processes of understanding, generation and accommodation in dialogue. The agent updates the dialogue uniformly for its own and its interlocutors’ utterances, by accommodating a new context, inferred abductively, in which utterance content is both true and prominent. The generator plans natural and c...
