Domain Dependent Natural Language Understanding
نویسنده
چکیده
A natural language understanding system for a restricted domain of discourse thermodynamic exercises at an introductory level is presented. The system transforms texts into a formal meaning representation language based on cases. The semantical interpretat ion of sentences and phrases is controlled by case frames formulated around verbs and surface grammatical roles in noun phrases. During the semantical interpretat ion of a text, semantic constraints may be imposed on elements of the text. Each sentence is analysed with respect to context making the system capable of solving anaphoric references such as definite descriptions, pronouns and elliptic constructions. The system has been implemented and succesfully tested on a selection of exercises.

Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...
متن کاملThe Bermuda Triangle: Natural Language Semantics Between Linguistics, Knowledge Representation, and Knowledge Processing
Linguistic parameters alone cannot determine the interpretation of natural language utterances. They can only constrain their interpretation and must leave the rest to other knowledge sources and other processes: language understanding is not just a matter of knowing the language, but also to a considerable degree a matter of logical inference and world knowledge. This is no news as far as the ...
متن کاملConstruction of Domain Dictionary for Fundamental Vocabulary
For natural language understanding, it is essential to reveal semantic relations between words. To date, only the IS-A relation has been publicly available. Toward deeper natural language understanding, we semiautomatically constructed the domain dictionary that represents the domain relation between Japanese fundamental words. This is the first Japanese domain resource that is fully available....
