either you either need to get pretty fancy or fix them by hand... I mean, in this case "is a quantity of" happens to start with the same word as "is made from" so you could use a heuristic based on that; but what if you had x1 is a quantity of/ gets made from chalk from source x2 in form x3. Then you'd need to use grammar to tell that the phrase boundary was around "is a quantity of" rather than around, say, "a quantity of" ... you'd need to try various options and parse them... A fun idea would be to replace \ with "or", so that e.g. x1 is a quantity of/is made of chalk from source x2 in form x3. would become x1 is a quantity of or is made of chalk from source x2 in form x3. But one suspects the link parser might choke on many of these perverse sentences, and improving the link dictionary in this way would be a lot more work than just writing a perl (or whatever) script handling an ugly list of special cases... -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org “I tell my students, when you go to these meetings, see what direction everyone is headed, so you can go in the opposite direction.
