Representing the Semantics of Natural Language as Constraint Expressions (opens in new tab)

Representing the Semantics of Natural Language as Constraint Expressions Grossman, Richard W. The issue of how to represent the "meaning" of an utterance is central to the problem of computer understanding of natural language. Rather than relying on ad-hoc structures or forcing the complexities of natural language into mathematically elegant but computationally cumbersome representations (such as first-order logic), this paper presents a novel representation which has many desirable computati...
