Natural Language Understanding for Information Fusion ∗
Tractor is a system for understanding English messages within the context of hard and soft information fusion for situation assessment. Tractor processes a message through text processors using standard natural language processing techniques, and represents the result in a formal knowledge representation language. The result is a hybrid syntactic-semantic knowledge base that is mostly syntactic...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation for Lexical Semantics: Is Standard First Order Logic Enough?
Many natural language understanding tasks require lexicons that can support extensive lexically-based inferencing. To represent lexical semantics, most existing natural language understanding systems utilize Standard First Order Logic (FOL), or a subset of it. We argue that using a representation richer than FOL would facilitate better lexically-based inferencing. Using examples drawn from actu...
متن کاملWhat’s behind meaning?
The paper addresses the main questions to be dealt with by any semantic theory which is committed to provide an explanation of how meaning is possible. On one side the paper argues that the resources provided by the development of mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, cognitive psychology, and general linguistics in the 20th Century, however indispensable to investigate the structur...
متن کاملA Denotational Semantics for Joining Description Logics and Object-Oriented Programming
Despite their common roots, the paradigms of object-oriented programming and object-centered knowledge representation could not really be joined again. While the knowledge representation branch highlights clear semantics and focuses on subsumption and classification-based inference algorithms, object-oriented programming shines with flexible control structures and software-engineering issues. B...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Semantics in a Complex Domain: The UNIX Natural Language Help System GOETHE
It is commonly agreed ihat natural language systems fox" semantically rich domains require a level of sema~tic representation in order to provide for a sufficiently deep processing of the natural language input. The level of semantic representation is sometimes called a representation of linguistic knowledge. In addition, a natural language help system also requires a lo~owledge base of the app...
متن کاملOrganization of Gatekeeping and Mental Framework in the System of Representation and Hierarchical Relational Structures of the Modern Society
Critical discourse analysis as a type of social practice reveals how linguistic choices enable speakers to manipulate the realizations of agency and power in the representation of action.The present study examines the relationship between language and ideology and explores how such a relationship is represented in the analysis of spoken text and to show how declarative knowledge, beliefs, attit...
