Assumption Grammars: Parsing as Hypothetical Reasoning
A general framework of handling state information for logic programming languages on top of backtrackable assumptions (linear aane and intuition-istic implications ranging over the current continuation) is introduced, with emphasis on its high-level natural language processing abilities. Assumption Grammars (AGs), a variant of Extended DCGs particularly suitable for hypothetical reasoning, and ...
متن کاملStory-enabled Hypothetical Reasoning
Story understanding is a central competence that illuminates all other aspects of human intelligence. In this work, I demonstrate how our story understanding ability sheds light on our ability to think in terms of hypothetical situations. Using the Genesis story understanding system as a substrate, I develop a story-enabled hypothetical reasoning system that models several high-level human abil...
متن کاملGapping as Constituent Coordination
A number of coordinate constructions in natural languages conjoin sequences which do not appear to correspond to syntactic constituents in the traditional sense. One striking instance of the phenomenon is afforded by the "gapping" construction of English, of which the following sentence is a simple example: (1) Harry eats beans, and Fred, potatoes Since all theories agree that coordination must...
متن کاملUsing hypothetical reasoning as a method for belief ascription
A key cognitive faculty that enables humans to communicate with each other is their ability to incrementally construct and use models describing the mental states of others. Every such model describing some other cognitive agent will realistically contain only a nite number of sentences in some language of thought, hence, assuming su ciently powerful inference rules, some of its consequences wi...
متن کاملInterpretive Reasoning with Hypothetical Cases
Reasoning with hypothetical cases helps decision-makers evaluate alternate hypotheses for deciding a case. The hypotheticals demonstrate the sensitivity of a hypothesis to apparently small factual differences that may require different results because they shift the tradeoffs among conflicting underlying principles. By anticipating variations, the decision-maker seeks to formulate as general an...
