We present an overview on how to perform non-monotonic reasoning based on paraconsistent logics. In particular, we show that one can define a logic programming semantics based on the paraconsistent logic G’3 which is called G’3-stable semantics. This semantics defines a frame for performing non-monotonic reasoning in domains which are pervaded with vagueness and inconsistencies. In fact, we sho...

FrameNet is a lexico-semantic dataset that embodies the theory of frame semantics. Like other semantic databases, FrameNet is incomplete. We augment it via the paraphrase database, PPDB, and gain a threefold increase in coverage at 65% precision.

We study how different frame annotations complement one another when learning continuous lexical semantics. We learn the representations from a tensorized skip-gram model that consistently encodes syntactic-semantic content better, with multiple 10% gains over baselines.

We propose that qualitative physics can provide an important component of natural language semantics. Specifically, we describe how qualitative process theory can be recast in terms of frame semantics, as used in the Berkeley FrameNet project. This reformulation is important because it could allow the techniques of qualitative reasoning to be harnessed for natural language understanding and it ...

In this chapter, we contrast a broad use of the term frame in cognitive science from its related use in a type of linguistic analysis; we describe the principles and data structure of a particular research project (FrameNet) as a model for representing frame-based analyses of lexical meanings; we briefly introduce an extension of the project to include the semantic contributions of grammatical ...

In this paper we present relational semantics for the system CC by considering a small variation on Ignatiev’s frame. This is a draft version and shortly a more complete version will be published.

We propose an architecture for large-scale knowledge base systems based on database technologies and the three levels of semantic construct-frames, objects and relations. The intermediate object level retains the structural semantics of the frame level and is therefore beneecial in bridging the semantic gap between the frame and re-lational levels and enabling the use of semantic information in...

Many solutions to the frame problem have been proposed in the literature, some are monotonic and some are nonmonotonic. Reiter recently proposed a solution and its application to the domain of database update speciication, but no proof of soundness or completeness has been provided. We assess Reiter's monotonic solution to the frame problem in the database domain following Sandewall's methodolo...

We describe a bilingual grammar used for translation of verb frame divergences between Swedish and English. The grammar is used both for analysis and generation with Minimal Recursion Semantics as interlingua. Our grammar is based on the delph-in resources for which semantic transfer is proposed for MT. We show that an interlingua strategy based on a bilingual grammar can handle many cases of v...
