This volume describes the theoretical and empirical results of a seven year collaborative
effort of cognitive scientists to develop a computational model for narrative understanding …

Third-person fictional narrative text is composed not only of passages that objectively
narrate events, but also of passages that present characters' thoughts, perceptions, and …

ments be thrown to the wind-in light of the fact that careful, precise, step-by-step deductive
arguments will be presented below for each and every proposition that might be cavalierly …

Abstract SNePS, the Semantic Network Processing System, is an intensional propositional
semantic network that has been designed to be the mind of a computational cognitive agent …

It is appealing to have a system that generates a story or scripts automatically from a story-
line, even though this is still out of our reach. In dialogue systems, it would also be useful to …

Generating a text based on a predefined guideline is an interesting but challenging problem.
A series of studies have been carried out in recent years. In dialogue systems, researchers …

The present studies investigated whether readers incorporate discourse perspective into
their mental representations of a literary text. Subjects in Experiment 1 read and reread the …

A computer can come to understand natural language the same way Helen Keller did: by
using “syntactic semantics”—a theory of how syntax can suffice for semantics, ie, how …

As part of an interdisciplinary project to develop a computational cognitive model of a reader
of narrative text, we are developing a computational theory of how natural-language …

We present a computational analysis of de re, de dicto, and de se belief and knowledge
reports. Our analysis solves a problem first observed by Hector-Neri Castañeda, namely …
