We are talking about 2 things: 1. Using an "ad hoc" parser to translate NL to logic 2. Using an AGI to parse NL I think I've already formulated how to do #2, and will try to implement it soon. But it *still* requires a lot of training (not surprisingly). Yes, if we use #1 then we have to deal with ambiguities. But #2 provides some ready-to-run components right now. > _poss(life,your) > _poss(treasure,my) > _obj(Guard,treasure) > with(Guard,life) > _imperative(Guard) This logical form is somewhat similar to Rus form... does it have a name? > I think it can be handled via embodiment, i.e. via having an AI system > observe > the usage of various senses of "with" in various embodied contexts. I'm afraid the crux is not in embodiment. It's in abduction =) YKY ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
