betweenness and direction
Commonsense Reasoning Based on Betweenness and Direction in Distributional Models
Schockaert, Steven (Cardiff University) | Derrac, Joaquín (Cardiff University)
Several recent approaches use distributional similarity for making symbolic reasoning more flexible. While an important step in the right direction, the use of similarity has a number of inherent limitations. We argue that similarity-based reasoning should be complemented with commonsense reasoning patterns such as interpolation and a fortiori inference. We show how the required background knowledge for these inference patterns can be obtained from distributional models.
