{"pk":30741,"title":"Pattern-Based Parsing for Word-Sense Disambiguation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In the study of natural language understanding, the reductionist approach has been commonly used by A, I. researchers. Here we develop a technique for parsing based on this approach. W e use a set of semantic primitives to represent word meanings and utilize patterns of sentences for mapping sentences onto meaning structures. To assist the parsing process,w e develop semantic mappings for primitive sentences, semantic transformations for decomposing complex sentences using function word sand axioms that encode world knowledge. W e then explore the application of our approach to the word polysemy problem.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5gg92212","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rajesh","middle_name":"S.","last_name":"Virkar","name_suffix":"","institution":"Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University","department":""},{"first_name":"John","middle_name":"W.","last_name":"Roach","name_suffix":"","institution":"Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1988-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30741/galley/20590/download/"}]}
