Layered Language Understander:
Generic Abductive Inference for Language Processing
Abstract:This report describes the design an current implementation of LLU
(Layered Language Understander). LLU is application-building software (a
"shell") for natural language processing using abduction, but designed to
be independent of any particular language or level of processing (syllables,
words, sentences, etc.). It is. a specialization of a generic abduction
mechanism with support for layered abduction and for handling temporally-
bounded hypotheses.
