Inferential Memory as the Basis of Machines Which Understand Natural Language

Classics

Article based on Ph.D. dissertation at Carnegie Tech. "... the problem of meaning is of major importance in the study of the nature of intelligence, and that a useful definition of meaning must include not only denotation but connotation and implication as well. To handle these important questions it is necessary to study cognitive organizations which are more complex than those upon which most psychological theories are based. A central question is the storage of large numbers of interrelated propositions in a manner which efficiently uses memory capacity." In E.A. Feigenbaum & J. Feldman (Eds.) Computers and Thought, pp. 217-233. McGraw-Hill, 1963.
