SenseNet: A Knowledge Representation Model for Computational Semantics
Ping Chen, Wei Ding, Chengmin Ding · 2006
Knowledge representation is essential for semantics modeling and intelligent information processing. For decades researchers have proposed many knowledge representation techniques. However, it is a daunting problem how to capture deep semantic information effectively and support the construction of a large-scale knowledge base efficiently. This paper describes a new knowledge representation model, SenseNet, which provides semantic support for commonsense reasoning and natural language processing. SenseNet is formalized with a Hidden Markov Model. An inference algorithm is proposed to simulate human-like text analysis procedure. A new measurement, confidence, is introduced to facilitate the text analysis. We present a detailed case study of applying SenseNet to retrieving compensation information from company proxy filings
