True indeed!
Feeding all the ambiguous interpretations of a load of sentences into
a probabilistic
logic network, and letting them get resolved by reference to each
other, is a sort of
"search for the most likely solution of a huge system of simultaneous
equations" ...
i.e. one needs to let each, of a huge set of ambiguities, be resolved
by the other ones...
This is not an easy problem, but it's not on the face of it unsolvable...
But I think the solution will be easier with info from direct
experience to nudge the
process in the right direction...
