Laconic discourses and total eclipses: abduction in DICE
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this chapter is demonstrate one particular use of abduction in the processing of natural language discourse. DICE (Discourse In Commonsense Entailment) can be used to model both interpretation and generation. For interpretation, it uses defeasible deduction to determine the discourse structures and event structures underlying multisentential texts. For generation, it uses abduction to build up specifications of texts from underlying event structures. Thus, abduction is the primary mechanism of generation, and has a smaller role to play in interpretation.

Abducing Temporal Discourse
We focus on the following question: given the causal and temporal relations between events in a knowledge base, what are the ways they can be described in extended text? We argue that we want to be able to generate laconic text, where certain temporal information remains implicit but pragmatically inferrable. An algorithm for generating laconic text is proposed, interleaving abduction and nonmo...
متن کاملLaconic and Precise Justifications in OWL
A justification for an entailment in an OWL ontology is a minimal subset of the ontology that is sufficient for that entailment to hold. Since justifications respect the syntactic form of axioms in an ontology, they are usually neither syntactically nor semantically minimal. This paper presents two new subclasses of justifications—laconic justifications and precise justifications. Laconic justi...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL MODELLING FOR DICE FINDER GAME PROBLEM
Play is often episodic and mission-centric, with a series of challenges culminating in a final puzzle or enemy that must be overcome. Multiple missions played with the same characters may be related to each other in a plot arc of escalating challenges. The exact tone, structure, pace and end (if any) vary from game to game depending on the needs and preferences of the players, as in [9]. "THE C...
متن کاملLaconic schema mappings: computing core universal solutions by means of SQL queries
We present a new method for computing core universal solutions in data exchange settings specified by source-to-target dependencies, by means of SQL queries. Unlike previously known algorithms, which are recursive in nature, our method can be implemented directly on top of any DBMS. Our method is based on the new notion of a laconic schema mapping. A laconic schema mapping is a schema mapping f...
متن کاملBehavioural and Tetratogenic Effects of Solar Eclipse
The earliest recorded solar eclipse was on October 22, 2137 BC as mentioned in the Chinese 'Slue Ching'. The Chaldean astronomer in about 400 BC discovered that eclipses occur in regular succession at an interval of about 18 years, the cycle being called the Chaldean Saros. The exact interval is 223 lunatians or 6585.3 days. Out of a total of 65 eclipses in 19th century only 4 total solar eclip...
