Mixed-Level Knowledge Representation and Variable-Depth Inference in Natural Language Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
A system is described that uses a mixed-level knowledge representation based on standard Horn Clause Logic to represent (part of) the meaning of natural language documents. A variable-depth search strategy is outlined that distinguishes between the different levels of abstraction in the knowledge representation to locate specific passages in the documents. A detailed description of the linguistic aspects of the system is given. Mixed-level representations as well as variable-depth search strategies are applicable in fields outside that of NLP.

متن کاملEL : A Formal , Yet Natural , Compre Knowledge Representation *
We present Episodic Logic (EL), a highly expressive knowledge representation well-adapted to general commonsense reasoning as well as the interpretive and inferential needs of natural language processing. One of the distinctive features of EL is its extremely permissive ontology, which admits situations (episodes, events, states of affairs, etc.), propositions, possible facts, and kinds and col...
