A generic natural language system, without modification, can effectively analyze an arbitrary
input at least to the level of word sense tagging. Considerable research has addressed the …

Many obstacles stand in the way of computer programs that could read and digest volumes
of natural language text. The foremost of these difficulties is the quantity and variety of …

Abstract Knowledge acquisition from text is often attempted in the presence of large amounts
of pre-coded domain knowledge. Seeding a system with such knowledge is often a huge …

This paper describes work on the linguistic analysis of texts within a project devoted to
knowledge acquisition from text. We focus on syntactic processing and present some key …

We describe a graphical logical form as a semantic representation for text understanding.
This representation was designed to bridge the gap between highly expressive" deep" …

When people read a text, they rely on a priori knowledge of language, common sense
knowledge and knowledge of the domain. Many natural language processing systems …

This paper describes an algorithm for open text shallow semantic parsing. The algorithm
relies on a frame dataset (FrameNet) and a semantic network (WordNet), to identify semantic …

Traditional syntactic models of parsing have been inadequate for task-driven processing of
extended text, because they spend most of their time on misdirected linguistic analysis …
