An Approach to Solve Winograd Schema Challenge Using Automatically Extracted Commonsense Knowledge

Arpit Kumar Sharma, Nguyen Vo, Shruti Gaur, Chitta R. Baral · 2015

The Winograd Schema Challenge has recently been proposed as an alternative to the Turing test. A Wino-grad Schema consists of a sentence and question pair such that the answer to the question depends on the resolution of a definite pronoun in the sentence. The answer is fairly intuitive for humans but is difficult for machines because it requires commonsense knowl-edge about words or concepts in the sentence. In this paper we propose a novel technique which semanti-cally parses the text, hunts for the needed commonsense knowledge and uses that knowledge to answer the given question.
