This page outlines possible solutions for handling gaps in inference.
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: (iron, conducts, electricity)
