A Cognitively Plausible Approach to UnderstandingComplex
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a cognitively plausible mechanism for systematically handling complex syntactic constructions within a semantic parser. More speciically, we show how these constructions are handled without a global syntactic grammar or syntactic parse tree representations and without sacriicing the beneets of semantically-oriented parsing. We evaluate the psychological validity of our architecture and conclude that it is a plausible computational model of human processing for an important class of embedded clause constructions. As a result, we achieve robust sentence processing capabilities not found in other parsers of its class.

Inferring aspectuality on French sentences: a minimalist approach
Current models of temporality in language are either inaccurate or too complex to be cognitively plausible. We present a cognitive model of the computation of aspect in French. Our approach emphasizes the importance of minimalism for cognitive plausibility: structures and computation are kept simple and combinatorial explosion is avoided. Though the model and its current implementation remain p...
متن کاملA Cognitively Inspired Approach for Knowledge Representation and Reasoning in Knowledge-Based Systems
In this thesis, I investigate a hybrid knowledge representation approach that combines classic knowledge representations, such as rules and ontologies, with other cognitively plausible representations, such as prototypes and exemplars. The resulting framework can combine the strengths of each approach of knowledge representation, avoiding their weaknesses. It can be used for developing knowledg...
متن کاملExtended Ontologies: a Cognitively Inspired Approach
Within the Knowledge representation community, in general, an ontology is considered as a formal specification of a shared conceptualization. In this sense, ontologies would be constituted of concepts and could be understood as an approach of representing knowledge. In general, ontologies represent concepts in a logical way, adopting the so-called classical theory of representation. Due to this...
متن کاملA Cognitively Plausible Model of Language Comprehension
Double R Model (Referential and Relational Model) is a model of language comprehension intended for use in the development of software agents with NLP capabilities. Double R Model is fairly unique in adopting a cognitively plausible approach to modeling language comprehension, while at the same time attempting to support the development of large-scale, functional models. The key claim is that a...
متن کاملAchieving Efficient and Cognitively Plausible Learning in Backgammon
Traditionally, computer applications to game domains have taken a brute-force approach, relying on sheer computational power to overcome the complexity of the domain. Although many of these programs have been quite successful, it is interesting to note that humans can still perform extremely well against them. Thus we are compelled to ask, if no human could match the computational power of most...
