Logic form

Logic forms are simple, first-order logic knowledge representations of natural language sentences formed by the conjunction of concept predicates related through shared arguments. Each noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition and conjunction generates a predicate. Logic forms can be decorated with word senses to disambiguate the semantics of the word. There are two types of predicates: events are marked with e, and entities are marked with x. The shared arguments connect the subjects and objects of verbs and prepositions together. Example input/output might look like this: Input: The Earth provides the food we eat every day. Output: Earth:n_#1( x1 ) provide:v_#2( e1 , x1 , x2 ) food:n_#1( x2 ) we( x3 ) eat:v_#1( e2 , x3 , x2 ; x4 ) day:n_#1( x4 ) Logic forms are used in some natural language processing techniques, such as question answering, as well as in inference both for database systems and QA systems.
