Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes a story understanding system and discusses the methods used during 70s, 80s and 90s by stressing
on knowledge acquisition and representation from texts into abstract symbolic representation. Those attempts tried to find
a general unified theory for the problem and dealt with commonsense reasoning which plays an important role on the
development of the story understanding system. A list of requirements of story understanding system is given and some
of those requirements are important and must be satisfied in order to have a minimum understanding. New methods using
question answering system with extensive common knowledge base, imagining what is narrated in the text and producing
an external representation of the imagined scenes with visualization tool are presented. The approach is based on AI
(NLP, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning) and images database (objects and scenes search, retrieval and
arrangement). The paper reviews the research done in this area and focuses on the system internal representation and
common sense reasoning given a story. The question answering system that allows the extraction of scenes, characters,
and events is discussed and exploited to build a story scenario as one of the requirements. |
