Vulcan/SystemTarget
From Knowitall
This page describes the features in the first implementation of the system.
I/O
- Input
- Natural language sentences as input.
- The system will handle propositions that correspond to three questions.
Q1: X is the best conductor of electricity. X = {Iron nail, wax crayon, plastic cup, rubber boat}
Q2: X causes leaves of a plant to become larger. X = {Growth, A repair, Germination, Decomposition}
Q3: X helps a fox find food. X = {A sense of smell, ...}
- Output
- Marginal inference probability for each proposition according to Tuffy.
- Set of rules and axioms used (human-readable and MLN format). Note this is going to be hand generated in this iteration.
- Debugging output that shows the set of axioms, rules and new facts used in the inference. Preferably in a graphical format.
Method
1. Hand generate the set of rules and axioms in a human-readable format (click [[|here]] for an example. Convert this into the Tuffy MLN format. 2. Run Open IE 4.0 on each input sentence. Extract the best tuple: One that covers the sentence best. If there is a tie use the tuple with the longest relation phrase. 3.
