Logical Formalization of Human Intuitive Mental Imagery for Spatiotemporal Language Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
People would employ intuitive spatial relations such as ‘at’, ‘around’, ‘along’, etc. rather than the rigid global coordinates provided by GPS when they refer to physical locations in their casual communication. These word concepts, however, are considered to reflect human cognitive propensities toward the external world. Therefore they can be subjective to each human individual but as well can be common to the human beings in the macroscopic qualities of their conceptualization. This paper describes a method for systematic representation and computation of human intuitive spatiotemporal knowledge based on a mental image model and its application to natural language understanding. Key-Words: Natural language understanding, Spatiotemporal knowledge, Knowledge representation, Mental image

A Logic of Emotions for Intelligent Agents
This paper formalizes a well-known psychological model of emotions in an agent specification language. This is done by introducing a logical language and its semantics that are used to specify an agent model in terms of mental attitudes including emotions. We show that our formalization renders a number of intuitive and plausible properties of emotions. We also show how this formalization can b...

متن کاملHuman and Machine Understanding Of Natural Language Character Strings
There is a great deal of variability in the way in which different language users understand a given natural language (NL) character string. This variability probably arises because of some combination of differences in language users’ perceptions of its context-of-use (pragmatics), identity and mode of organization of its meaning bearing parts (syntax), and in the meanings assigned to those pa...
متن کاملFirst-Order Logical Formalization of Dialogue Models for Natural Language Interface Systems
For the design of natural language interface systems, a number of models and theories have been developed as well as language processing systems. We propose a model of dialogue systems by a rst-order logical formalization based on meta logics. This model captures various concepts of dialogue systems: the concepts of software systems talking about such as time, actions, conditional and causality...
