An Application of ASP Theories of Intentions to Understanding Restaurant Scenarios: Insights and Narrative Corpus

摘要

This paper presents a practical application of Answer Set Programming to the understandingof narratives about restaurants. While this task was investigated in depth by Erik Mueller,exceptional scenarios remained a serious challenge for his script-based story comprehension system.We present a methodology that remedies this issue by modeling characters in a restaurantepisode as intentional agents. We focus especially on the refinement of certain components ofthis methodology in order to increase coverage and performance. We present a restaurant storycorpus that we created to design and evaluate our methodology.
