    "abstract": "Many high-level cognitive tasks involve understanding – the\nmechanisms by which an agent attempts to construct accurate\nmental representations of its world. In this paper, we discuss\ntwo such processes: explanation and question answering. We\npropose four theoretical assumptions about representation and\nprocessing that arise in these tasks: both involve inference, this\ninference requires making default assumptions, it occurs in an\nincremental manner, and it produces structures that can be expressed\nas directed graphs of conceptual ground literals. We\nanalyze two models of explanation and question answering in\nterms of these commonalities and evaluate experimental claims\nabout them using reading comprehension passages. In closing,\nwe discuss our findings in light of related research",
