BORIS -- An Experiment in In-Depth Understanding of Narratives.

Abstract

BORIS is a story understanding and question answering system which involves the specification and interaction of many sources of knowledge. Unlike skimmers, which simply extract the gist of a story in a top-down manner and ignore everything else, BORIS attempts to understand everything that it reads to as great a depth as possible. This report focuses on how the BORIS program handles a complex story involving a divorce. (Author)
