Reasoning about Quantities in Natural Language
Little work from the Natural Language Processing community has targeted the role of quantities in Natural Language Understanding. This paper takes some key steps towards facilitating reasoning about quantities expressed in natural language. We investigate two different tasks of numerical reasoning. First, we consider Quantity Entailment, a new task formulated to understand the role of quantitie...
متن کاملCausal reasoning about quantities Kenneth
Causality plays an important role in human thinking . Yet we are far from having a complete account of causal reasoning. This paper presents an analysis of causal reasoning about changes in quantities . We abstract from Al theories of qualitative physics three dimensions along which causal reasoning about quantities may be decomposed . We then use this framework to make some psychological predi...
متن کاملAutomated Reasoning About Natural Language Correctness
Automated Reasoning techniques applied to the problem of natural language correctness allow the design of flexible training aids for the teaching of foreign languages. The approach involves important advantages for both the student and the teacher by detecting possible errors and pointing out their reasons. Explanations may be given on four distinct levels, thus offering differently instructive...
متن کاملReasoning about Natural Strategic Ability
In game theory, as well as in the semantics of game logics, a strategy can be represented by any function from states of the game to the agent’s actions. That makes sense from the mathematical point of view, but not necessarily in the context of human behavior. This is because humans are quite bad at executing complex plans, and also rather unlikely to come up with such plans in the first place...
متن کاملOn the Representation of Physical Quantities in Natural Language
In this paper we investigate the forms in which continuous properties can appear in written natural language. Our focus is on physical quantities found in descriptions of physical processes, such as expansion, movement, or transfer. Using Qualitative Process Theory as our underlying formalism, we show how information extracted from natural language text corresponds to the five constituents of p...
