Abstract

The paradigm of Multilayered Extended Semantic Networks (MultiNet) is one of the most thoroughly described knowledge representantion systems along the line of semantic networks. The conceptual representation of MultiNet is characterized by embedding its nodes into a multidimensional space of layer attributes. These layer attributes play an important part during the syntactico-semantic analysis of natural language texts and during the inferential answer finding in question answering systems. The paper demonstrates the automatic generation of complex layer information for conceptual nodes and their use in the assimilation of knowledge pieces into a larger knowledge base.
