Objectives
The objectives of such a project, well beyond the current state of art,
need to be humble at the beginning. For example one needs to develop
tools to parse writings, accumulate vocabularies, try to distinguish
between various modes of expression, settle a wide variety of issues about
meaning, and so forth. There are some very interesting projects
which might be mined for ideas ranging from the work of Lakoff and Johnson
on Metaphor to the
Cyc
Project which attempts to encode human common sense knowledge that a
person would have to have to understand an encyclopedia. JIAB lies
in that same concept space, but is more humble in some ways and more
ambitious in others.
Matt Gibbs, Adam Hollenberg, and
Jessica Taylor developed at Requirements Documents after discussion JIAB
which may be found here.
We hope to be able to develop this further in subsequent semesters. |
