Bing. Yes, exactly. I'm taking an experimental, rather than theoretical approach: build the minimum amount needed to make something work, then determine what is the next roadblock, and fix that. And then iterate. At this point, for me, sentence-parsing is not a roadblock. Nor is the conversion of parser output to "narsese" (reasoning-engine internal langauge). --linas ----- 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/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=60498503-12ec1f
