چکیده
The Open Mind Common Sense project is an attempt to construct a database of commonsense knowledge through the collaboration of a distributed community of thousands of non-expert netizens. We give an overview of the project, describe our knowledge acquisition and representation strategy of using natural language rather than formal logic, and demonstrate this strategy with a search engine application that employs simple commonsense reasoning to reformulate problem queries into more effective solution queries.

متن کاملA Turing Game for Commonsense Knowledge Extraction By
Commonsense is of primary interest to AI research since the inception of the field. Traditionally, commonsense knowledge is gathered by using humans to create and insert it in knowledge bases. Automating the collection of commonsense from text that is freely available can reduce the cost and effort of creating large knowledge bases and can enable systems that dynamically adapt to current releva...
متن کاملGECKA: Game Engine for Commonsense Knowledge Acquisition
Commonsense knowledge representation and reasoning is key for tasks such as natural language understanding. Since common-sense consists of information that humans take for granted, however, gathering it is an extremely difficult task. The game engine for commonsense knowledge acquisition (GECKA) aims to collect common-sense from game designers through the development of serious games. GECKA mer...
