Abstract

The topic of this research is the development of methodology for building computer systems capable of answering questions from natural language (NL) texts. Existing methodologies take the NL text and question as an input, transform it to a logical form, and use reasoning systems to obtain the answer. Sometimes little or no commonsense knowledge is added to the original input. However, we believe that most answers are commonsense answers and we want to investigate how additional knowledge can be used to produce them.
