TLDR
A new approach to the automatic semantic indexing of digital photographs based on the extraction of logic relations from their textual descriptions using an ontology for the domain of application is presented.Abstract:
In this paper we present a new approach to the automatic semantic indexing of digital photographs based on the extraction of logic relations from their textual descriptions. The method is based on shallow parsing and propositional analysis of the descriptions using an ontology for the domain of application. We describe the semantic representation formalism, the ontology, and the algorithms involved in the automatic derivation of semantic indexes from texts linked to images. The method has been integrated into the Scene of the Crime Information System, a crime management system for storing, indexing and retrieval of crime information.read more

A Preferential, Pattern-Seeking, Semantics for Natural Language Inference
TL;DR: The way in which a Preference Semantics system for natural language analysis and generation tackles a difficult class of anaphoric inference problems: those requiring either analytic knowledge of a complex sort, or requiring weak inductive knowledge of the course of events in the real world.

Making preferences more active
TL;DR: The authors discuss the incorporation of richer semantic structures into the Preference Semantics system: they are called pseudo-texts and capture some of the information expressed in one type of frame proposed by Minsky (q.v.).
