چکیده
Recent advances in automated knowledge base construction have created new opportunities to address one of the hardest challenges in Artificial Intelligence: automated commonsense reasoning. In this paper, we describe our recent efforts in mining commonsense knowledge from the personal stories that people write about their lives in their Internet weblogs. We summarize three preliminary investigations that involve the application of statistical natural language processing techniques to corpora of millions of weblog stories, and outline our current approach to solving a number of outstanding technical

Commonsense Causal Reasoning Using Millions of Personal Stories
The personal stories that people write in their Internet weblogs include a substantial amount of information about the causal relationships between everyday events. In this paper we describe our efforts to use millions of these stories for automated commonsense causal reasoning. Casting the commonsense causal reasoning problem as a Choice of Plausible Alternatives, we describe four experiments ...
متن کاملEnvisioning With Weblogs
In this position paper we present a vision of how the stories that people tell in Internet weblogs can be used directly for automated commonsense reasoning, specifically to support the core envisionment functions of event prediction, explanation, and imagination.
متن کاملLearning a Probabilistic Model of Event Sequences from Internet Weblog Stories
One of the central problems in building broad-coverage story understanding systems is generating expectations about event sequences, i.e. predicting what happens next given some arbitrary narrative context. In this paper, we describe how a large corpus of stories extracted from Internet weblogs was used to learn a probabilistic model of event sequences using statistical language modeling techni...
متن کاملOpen-domain Commonsense Reasoning Using Discourse Relations from a Corpus of Weblog Stories
We present a method of extracting opendomain commonsense knowledge by applying discourse parsing to a large corpus of personal stories written by Internet authors. We demonstrate the use of a linear-time, joint syntax/discourse dependency parser for this purpose, and we show how the extracted discourse relations can be used to generate opendomain textual inferences. Our evaluations of the disco...

The phenomenal rise of Internet weblogging has created new opportunities for people to tell personal stories of their life experience, and the potential to share these stories with those who can most benefit from reading them. One barrier to this new mode of storytelling is the lack of accessibility; existing Internet search tools are not tailored to the unique characteristics of this textual g...
