Restoration of semantic relationships (Causal Reconstruction)

Lecture



Example

l One of several paired, arcuate, flat bones that extend from the spine to the brisket and form the rib cage.

Example

l Edge. One of several paired arcuate flat bones, going from the spine to the chest bone and forming the chest.

l Is there a pair for each edge?

l What is the chest?

l Is the number of edges 2 multiple?

CR (Causal Reconstruction) Task

l Having such a description of an encyclopedia item, the program should be able to answer meaningful questions.

Transition Space

l Consider processes as transition chains

l The perception of causality

l Qualitative changes

l Example

l Conveniently generate from verbal reports

Meaning modeling (Causal modeling)

l Unfiltered input

Tasks of a person doing input to a CR

l Number

l Quality

l Connectivity

l Style

Check created model

Check created model

l Number

l Are new objects added?

l Quality

l Consistency

l Feasibility

l Connectivity

l Creating a semantic relationship on a set of objects

l Style

l Is it possible to “press” the created model?

Simplify 3 types of sentences

l Event

l Defining static connections between objects

l Binding

Additional input

l Add new static links and assertions

l Event definition

l Prior events

l withdrawal rules

l Confirmation Rules

2 levels of understanding of the created model

l Events l Objects

3 types of valid questions. Object level

l Questions related to changing object attributes over time l What happens to the cursor position during Windows shutdown?

3 types of valid questions. Event level

l Relationship between events

l How does the change in the wavelength of light affect the change in the width of the interference strip in the Fraunhofer experiment?

l Possible relationships between the events described in the question and the model already created

l How can a change in humidity affect mood?

Transition space

l Representation of the world by man through events and objects

l Perception of time as a sequence of breakpoints

l Qualitative perception

l Compound change

States vs. Changes (States vs. Changes)

l Example

l Changes are used in speech

Example

l The contact between the steam plate and the metal plate appears .

l The concentration of the solution increases.

l The appearance of the film changes.

l The pin becomes a part of the structure.

l The water remains inside the tank.

Example

l The contact between the steam plate and the metal plate appears .

l The concentration of the solution increases .

l The appearance of the film changes .

l The pin becomes a part of the structure.

l The water remains inside the tank.

Change Classification General

l APPEAR

l DISAPPEAR

l NOT-APPEAR

l NOT-DISAPPEAR

Specialization for NOT-DISAPPEAR

Qualitative attributes

CHANGE NOT-CHANGE

Quantitative Attributes

INCREASE NOT-INCREASE

DECREASE NOT-DECREASE

Predicate notation

l Name of change

l Attribute

l Member Objects

l Time points

Example

l APPEAR (contact, <the-steam, the-metal-plate>, t1, t2)

l INCREASE (concentration, the-solution, t3, t4)

l CHANGE (appearance, the-film, t5, t6)

l APPEAR (a-part-of, <the-pin, the-structure>, t7, t8) l NOT-DISAPPEAR (inside, <the-water, the-tank>, t9, t10)

Grammar. First form

l <input sentence> :: =

<attribute-expression> <verb-group>

l <attribute-expression> :: = the <attribute> <preposition> <noun-phrase> {{<preposition> | and} <noun-phrase>} * l <verb-group> :: = CHANGE | APPEAR, etc. l The concentration of the solution increases.

Grammar. Second form

l <input sentence> :: =

<object> <verb-group> <predicate-modifier>

l <predicate-modifier> :: =

<attribute> [[<<preposition>] <noun-phrase>

{{<preposition> | and} <noun-phrase>} *]

l <verb-group> :: = becomes | becomes not | remains | remains notl The water becomes a vapor.
