Natural Language Understanding Based on Semantic Relations between Sentences

TL;DR

This paper introduces a framework for natural language understanding that centers on semantic relations between sentences and events, aiming to enhance comprehension by formalizing event-based text analysis.

Contribution

It defines event expressions and semantic relations between events, providing a formal basis for event-centric natural language understanding.

Findings

Formal definition of event expressions

Framework for semantic relations between events

Foundation for event-based text understanding

Abstract

In this paper, we define event expression over sentences of natural language and semantic relations between events. Based on this definition, we formally consider text understanding process having events as basic unit.
