Towards a Logical Foundation of Semantic Networks - A Typology of Descriptive Means for Semantic Inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semantic Networks (SN) are a knowledge representation paradigm especially suited for the meaning representation of natural language expressions. In order to clearly define their basic constructs, the relations and functions used in a semantic network must be given a logical characterization. The paper exemplifies this strategy for Multilayered Extended Semantic Networks (the so-called MultiNet paradigm). In particular, it is shown that the axioms characterizing the logical properties of the expressional means of an SN have to be classified according to different criteria which are connected with specific types of inference.

Towards constructing an Integrative, Multi-Level Model for Cognition: The Function of Semantic Networks
Integrated approaches try to connect different constructs in different theories and reinterpret them using a common conceptual framework. In this research, using the concept of processing levels, an integrated, three-level model of the cognitive systems has been proposed and evaluated. Processing levels are divided into three categories of Feature-Oriented, Semantic and Conceptual Level based o...
متن کاملReasoning over Semantic Networks – A Typology of Axioms for Natural Language Inference
There are problems related to question answering which obviously call for semantically based logical inferences. For example, a question-answering system should produce the same answer if asked with logically equivalent paraphrases of a question. Moreover, an answer should not only be found for direct matches of the query with the knowledge base but also if the answer is entailed by the latter....

Objectives: Semantic Feature Analysis was designed to improve lexical retrieval of aphasic patients via activation of semantic networks of the words. In this approach, the anomic patients are cured with semantic information to assist oral naming. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Semantic Feature Analysis treatment on anomia of two nonfluent aphasic patients. Methods: A...
