{"pk":31392,"title":"Toward a Knowledge Representation for Simple Narratives","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In this paper we report progress on the design of a knowledge representation formalism, based on Allen's temporal logic [Allen, 1984], to be used in a generative model of narratives. Our goal is to develop a model that will simultaneously generate text and meaning representations so that claims about recovery of meaning from text can be assessed. W e take as our domain a class of simple stories, based on Grimm's fairy tales. We base our work on story grammars, as they are the only available framework with a declarative representation. W e provide the logical foundations for developing a story grammar [Rumelhart, 1975] into a generative model of simple narratives. W e have provided definitions to specify the \"syntactic\" categories of the story grammar and the constraints between constituents.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4jc726v4","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"R.","middle_name":"Raymond","last_name":"Lang","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tulane University","department":""},{"first_name":"Robert","middle_name":"P.","last_name":"Goldman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Tulane University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1992-01-01T23:30:00+05:30","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31392/galley/22461/download/"}]}
