Once you have these sentences in predicate form, it becomes much easier to do some statistical matching on them, and group and classify them together to generate a set of more logical statements, and to disambiguate the simple english term you use first, into a single Term entity in the knowledge base.
IE on Christmas people give presents on Thanksgiving people eat turkey on a pizza there is pepperoni on a pizza there is olives These will start to form patterns for the different uses, that we can use to formalize general rules or logics (Not necessarily FOL) like on(Holiday, people do things) on(food, are other foods) James Philip Goetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Oops - looking back at my earlier post, I said that "English sentences translate neatly into predicate logic statements". I should have left out "logic". I like using predicates to organize sentences. I made that post because Josh was pointing out some of the problems with logic, but then making the false conclusion that predications are a bad representation. I wanted to say that you can use a predicate representation, but use something other than FOPL to process it. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303 _______________________________________ James Ratcliff - http://falazar.com New Torrent Site, Has TV and Movie Downloads! http://www.falazar.com/projects/Torrents/tvtorrents_show.php --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
