Filling Knowledge Gaps in Text for Machine Reading
نویسندگان
چکیده
Texts are replete with gaps, information omitted since authors assume a certain amount of background knowledge. We define the process of enrichment that fills these gaps. We describe how enrichment can be performed using a Background Knowledge Base built from a large corpus. We evaluate the effectiveness of various openly available background knowledge bases and we identify the kind of information necessary for enrichment.

Scaffolding Comprehension and Recall Gaps: Effects of Paratextual Advance Organizers
Although filling the gap in reading comprehension gained momentum with the rise of the top-down approach, Vygotsky’ concept of scaffolding and the dual code theory provided a strong support for the use of paratext to enhance comprehension. Scaffolding is dependent on other-regulation, one type of which is object-regulation. From this vantage-point, various types of paratext can function as sou...
متن کاملجُستاری در رویکرد دیالکتیکی به «خواندن»
Purpose: This article tries to explain that reading is a dialectical action. For this purpose, it refers to the concept of dialectics in ancient times and, with a glance at the concepts of man, world, science, language and knowledge, it tries to discuss the dialectical status of reading. Method: In the present article, a conceptual analysis approach has been used. This approach that is used i...
متن کاملStory-Level Inference and Gap Filling to Improve Machine Reading
Machine reading aims at extracting formal knowledge representations from text to enable programs to execute some performance task, for example, diagnosis or answering complex queries stated in a formal representation language. Information extraction techniques are a natural starting point for machine reading, however, since they focus on explicit surface features at the phrase and sentence leve...
متن کاملA Study of Machine Reading from Multiple Texts
A system that seeks to build a semantically coherent representation from multiple texts requires (at least) three things: a representation language that is sufficiently expressive to capture the information conveyed by the text; a natural language engine that can interpret text and generate semantic representations in that language with reasonable reliability; and a knowledge integration capabi...
متن کاملSemantic Enrichment of Text with Background Knowledge
Texts are replete with gaps, information omitted since authors assume a certain amount of background knowledge. We describe the kind of information (the formalism and methods to derive the content) useful for automated filling of such gaps. We describe a stepwise procedure with a detailed example.
