The Formalization of a Knowledge Base for English

Abstract:This paper describes a graphical editor that modifies a knowledge base of semantic concepts, as well as a small English knowledge base created with the aid of the program. The English knowledge base is derived from the first five pages of the English translation of the ATR dialogues about international conference registration. The major concepts include Bring, Fill Out, Send, and Pay. The graphical editor, KBE, incorporates an understanding of knowledge base structures developed at ATR. Major sections of the program include adding, deleting, and modifying nodes and links; drawing the knowledge base in a graphical format; file input and output in two formats; and a routine to check the global consistency of the knowledge base for possible errors in input. This work was done as an internship at ATR Interpreting Telephony Research Laboratories.
