Temporal Reasoning Involving Counterfactuals and Disjunctions

This paper describes a mechanism for nonmonotonic temporal reasoning involving counterfactuals and disjunctions. The mechanism supports a method for exploring alternatives well suited to automatic planning. The application of these techniques to robot problem solving is discussed with an emphasis on reasoning about exclusive choices and monitoring the continued warrant and effectiveness of prev...

Feature Representations and Logical Compatibility between Temporal Adverbs and Aspects

In this paper, we propose clear-cut definitions of distinct temporal adverbs and provide descriptive features for each class of temporal adverbs. By measuring time points in temporal axis, we revise and reclassify the temporal adverbs listed in [Lu and Ma 1999] into four classes of semantic roles, namely, time, frequency, duration, and time manner. The descriptive features enable us to distingu...
