From nsn Sat Mar 6 22:52:39 2010 From: nsn (Nick Nicholas) Subject: Re: Prolog continued: event abstractions in. To: bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu Date: Fri, 9 Apr 1993 18:35:22 +1000 (EST) Cc: nsn (Nick Nicholas) Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mozilla-Status: 0011 Message-ID: The Seraphim surely rejoiced when bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu spoke thus: }Your reports are fascinating. }Many thanks for sending them. Please keep it up. Well, my thanks! The stuff I've been doing is, for the most part, common/garden variety Logical Form NLP, with little understanding going on, and I'll have to eventually start doing stuff to put that understanding in there (I don't know if I'll ask the things questions in a database sense or a narrative sense). Meantime, I'm reading up on Logic and NLP, grappling with the nastinesses of Prolog (not that clean a language), and occasionally triumphing for brief flashes, long enough for me to post them to lojlist! :) }I would welcome even more discussion and commentary, but I suspect }you don't have much time for that! You're not too far wrong, I'm afraid :( ... In fact, the main reason I post the stuff is to invite anyone who knows more than me to pounce on me if appropriate. Pretty soon I'll have the guts of the logical form in place (though tense will prove very tricky); it's then that the real fun will begin :) Thanks for your support; I'll certainly keep at it! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nick S.
