Natural Language Processing with ThoughtTreasure (Paperback)

ThoughtTreasure is a commonsense knowledge base and architecture for natural language processing. It uses multiple representations including logic, finite automata, grids, and scripts. The ThoughtTreasure architecture consists of: the text agency, containing text agents for recognizing words, phrases, and names, and mechanisms for learning new words and inflections; the syntactic component, containing a syntactic parser, base rules, and filters; the semantic component, containing a semantic parser for producing a surface-level understanding of a sentence, a natural language generator, and an anaphoric parser for resolving anaphoric entities such as pronouns; the planning agency, containing planning agents for achieving goals on behalf of simulated actors; and the understanding agency, containing understanding agents for producing a more detailed understanding of a discourse.

ThoughtTreasure是一個常識知識庫和自然語言處理架構。它使用多種表示方法，包括邏輯、有限自動機、網格和腳本。ThoughtTreasure架構包括：文本機構，包含用於識別單詞、短語和名稱的文本代理，以及學習新單詞和詞形變化的機制；句法組件，包含句法解析器、基本規則和過濾器；語義組件，包含用於生成句子表面層理解的語義解析器、自然語言生成器和用於解決代詞等指示實體的指示解析器；規劃機構，包含代表模擬角色實現目標的規劃代理；以及理解機構，包含用於生成對話更詳細理解的理解代理。
