- Logic form
Logic forms are simple,
first-order logic knowledge representation s ofnatural language sentences formed by the conjunction of concept predicates related through shared arguments. Each noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition and conjunction generates a predicate. Logic forms can be decorated withword sense s to disambiguate the semantics of the word. There are two types of predicates: events are marked with "e", and entities are marked with "x". The shared arguments connect the subjects and objects of verbs and prepositions together. Example input/output might look like this: Input: The Earth provides the food we eat every day. Output: Earth:n_#1(x1) provide:v_#2(e1, x1, x2) food:n_#1(x2) we(x3) eat:v_#1(e2, x3, x2; x4) day:n_#1(x4)Logic forms are used in some
natural language processing techniques, such asquestion answering , as well as ininference both fordatabase systems and QA systems.Evaluations
