Conceptual Dependency Knowledge representation in natural language sentences The goal is to represent the knowledge in a way that: –Facilitates drawing inference from the sentences –Is independent of the language in which the sentences were originally stated. p Oto I ATRANS book man I < from R

Symbols Arrow – direction of dependency Double arrows – two way link between actor and action. P indicates past tense ATRANS is one of the primitive acts used by the theory. It indicates transfer of possession. O indicates object case relation. R indicates the recipient case relation. Fig.1 A sample conceptual dependency Representation.

PRIMITIVES ATRANS - Transfer of an abstract relationship PTRANS - Trans of physical location of an object PROPLE - Application of physical force to an object MOVE - Movement of a body part by its owner (e.g.. Kick) GRASP - Grasping of an object by an actor INGEST - Ingestion of an object by an animal (e.g. Eat) EXPEL - Expulsion of something from the body of an animal (e.g. Tell) MTRANS - Transfer of mental information (e.g. Say) SPEAK - Production of sounds (e.g. Say) ATTEND – Focusing of a sense organ toward a stimulus (e.g. Listen) Dependencies among the Conceptualization There are four primitives conceptual categories from which dependency structures can be built. They are :

ACTS Actions PPs Objects (picture products) AAs Modifiers of action (action aiders) PAs Modifiers of PPs (picture aiders) Rules Examples of their use English version of p the example 1.PP ACT John PTRANS John ran Rule 1 describes the relationship between an actor and the event he or she causes – Two way dependency – p past tense. 2.PP ⇚⇛ PA John (height > average) John is tall Rule 2 describes the relationship between PP and a PA that is being asserted to describe it. Many state description such as height, are represented in CD as numeric scales. 3. PP PP Jhon doctor John is a doctor. Rule 3 describes the relationship between two PPs one of which belongs to the set defined by the other. ⇚⇛

4.PP boy A nice boy PA nice Rule 4 describes the relationship between a PP and an attribute that has already been predicted of it. Direction – toward PP 5.PP dog Poss-by John’s dog PP John Rule 5 describes the relationship between two PPs, one of which provides a particular kind of information about the other. Three types of information are: Possession – POSS-BY Location – LOC Physical containment – CONT The direction of arrow – towards the concept

6.ACT PP John PROPEL cart John pushed the cart Rule 6 describes the relationship between ac ACT and the PP that is the object of ACT. The direction of the arrow is toward the ACT since the context of the specific ACT determines the meaning of the object relation. 7. ACT John John ATRANS book John took the book from Mary Rule 7 describes the relationship between an ACT and the source and the recipient of the ACT < Mary P PP < PP OO O R R

8. ACT P I John John INGEST O do O spoon John ate ice cream with a spoon Rule 8 describes the relationship between an ACT and the instrument with which it is performed. The instrument must always be a full conceptualization (i.e. it must contain an ACT) not just a single physical object. ice cream I

9. ACT John PTRANS 10. ⇚ Rule 10 represents the relationship between a PP and a state in which it started and another in which it ended. > < PP D field bag > < O fertilizer John fertilized the field P D Rule 9 describes the relationship between an ACT and its physical source and destination > < PP PA ⇚ > < Size > x Size = x plants The plants grow

⇛ 11. (a)(b) ⇛ ⇚ > < Bill PEOPLE bullet > < Bob gun Bob ⇛ ⇚ > < health (-10) Bill shot Bob OR p Rule 11 describes the relationship between one conceptualization and another that causes it. Notice that the arrows indicate dependency of one conceptualization on another and so point in the opposite direction of the implication arrows. The two forms of the rule describe the cause of an action and the cause of a state change.

(12) John PTRANS Yesterday John ran yesterday Rule 12 describes the relationship between a conceptualization and the time at which the event it describes occurred. (13) PTRANS I O D Home I MTRANS O Frog R CP Eyes I I While going home, I saw a frog. Rule 13 describes the relationship between one conceptualization and another that is the time of the first. The example for this rule also shows how CD exploits a model of the human information processing system; see is represented as the transfer of information between the eyes and the conscious processor. P <

PPWoods I heard a frog in the woods. Rule 14 describes the relationship between a conceptualization and the place at which it occurred. 14 MTRANS Frog OR < Ears CP
