Answering Questions Using Advanced Semantics And Probabilistic Inference
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we argue that access to rich semantic structures derived from questions and answers will enable both the retrieval of more accurate answers to simple questions and enable inference processes that explain the validity and contextual coverage of answers to complex questions. Processing complex questions involves the identifications of several forms of complex semantic structures. Answer Extraction is performed by recognizing event inter-relationships and by inferring over multiple sentences and texts, using background knowledge.

Semantic Parsing to Probabilistic Programs for Situated Question Answering
Situated question answering is the problem of answering questions about an environment such as an image or diagram. This problem requires jointly interpreting a question and an environment using background knowledge to select the correct answer. We present Parsing to Probabilistic Programs (P ), a novel situated question answering model that can use background knowledge and global features of t...
متن کاملNatural Language Semantics using Probabilistic Logic
With better natural language semantic representations, computers can do more applications more efficiently as a result of better understanding of natural text. However, no single semantic representation at this time fulfills all requirements needed for a satisfactory representation. Logic-based representations like first-order logic capture many of the linguistic phenomena using logical constru...
متن کاملLearning a Compositional Semantics for Freebase with an Open Predicate Vocabulary
We present an approach to learning a modeltheoretic semantics for natural language tied to Freebase. Crucially, our approach uses an open predicate vocabulary, enabling it to produce denotations for phrases such as “Republican front-runner from Texas” whose semantics cannot be represented using the Freebase schema. Our approach directly converts a sentence’s syntactic CCG parse into a logical f...
متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
متن کاملAnswering Queries from Context-Sensitive Probabilistic Knowledge Bases
We deene a language for representing context-sensitive probabilistic knowledge. A knowledge base consists of a set of universally quantiied probability sentences that include context constraints, which allow inference to be focused on only the relevant portions of the probabilistic knowledge. We provide a declarative semantics for our language. We present a query answering procedure which takes...
