Steve, The output of FCG seems very syntax-ish...
Do you have mechanisms in texai for mapping the output of FCG into higher-level, more semantic-ish relationships like the ones use in OpenCyc? As you know better than me, within Cyc they have a large system of rules for mapping the syntactic output of their parser into their semantic representation. The degree to which an AI system learns such mapping rules, versus has them hand-encoded, is a very important issue, because in many ways these rules are a subtler and harder problem than the rules of syntax. -- Ben G On Jan 9, 2008 2:21 PM, Stephen Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On the SourceForge project site, I just released the Java library for > Incremental Fluid Construction Grammar. > > Fluid Construction Grammar is a natural language parsing and generation > system developed by researchers at emergent-languages.org.
