METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTING INTELLIGENT GLOSSARIES FROM DISTINCTION-BASED REASONING

摘要

A computer implemented method of constructing formal definitions in intelligent glossaries for interpreting text, comprising the steps of: providing at least one Distinction having a Boundary, an Indication, a Counter-indication and a Frame; modeling each Distinction as a diagram to provide a Distinction Model; verifying each distinction model as being an instantiation of a generic Distinction Pattern; providing at least one Arrangement made of nonintersecting Marks of Distinction containing Indications from the verified Distinction Model; writing at least one Formulation for each Indication appearing in verified Distinction model and Arrangement, providing well-founded Indications; calculating precise Formulations in Natural Language from well-founded Indications by substituting Variables symbols and/or replacing Constants symbols to transform imprecise Formulations into precise Formulations; selecting a Definition type and embedding at least one precise Formulation and Definition type as a formal Definition in an Intelligent Glossary to provide computerized Semantic Systems of Intelligent Glossaries.
