Research in Knowledge Representation for Natural Language Understanding.

Abstract

This project is aimed at developing techniques for rendering computer-based assistance to a decision maker who is attempting to understand and react to a complex, evolving situation. This report summarizes our research in knowledge representation and natural language over the past three years. In particular, we discuss the development of KL-ONE, NIKL, and KL-TWO, the advances in RUS and the PSI-KLONE systems, and our work in understanding discourse and speaker's intentions. The report also contains a number of papers on different areas of our research: the interface of KL-TWO, the NIKL environment, semantic acquisition, a model of planning with time and events, recognizing intentions in discourse and understanding references in the face of miscommunication. We also document publications and presentations by members of the research group over the past year.
