This page outlines possible solutions for handling gaps in inference. Unfinished.
Problem Overview
Inference using textual evidence will have gaps due to lexical variations. Consider the following example:
Proposition: Iron nail is a good conductor of electricity. Evidence: E1: (metals, have the ability to conduct, electricity) E2: composed(iron nail, iron) E3: Type(iron, metal) E4: (metal, conducts, electricity) Rules: R1: composed(x, y) (y, R, z) => (x, R, z)
