Memory Organization and Search Processes for Narratives.

Abstract

BORIS represents the first system to integrate the knowledge-based inference techniques of scripts, plans, goals, and themes within a single narrative-understanding program. This report discusses techniques used by BORIS for memory representation and memory retrieval. Emphasis is placed on human question-answering abilities and the heuristics needed to simulate these phenomena. An example narrative processed by BORIS is discussed in detail and used to illustrate design decisions. (Author)
