The \"~STION ANSWER\" system is capable of deducing facts that have not been explicitly given to it by using a large data base and interpreting some of data as rules of inference. The system employs a special procedure which allows not to use contradictory information even if it is contained in the data base","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/131","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/0131.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/131.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/bibtex/131","volume":{"slug":"1975","title":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1975","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/","year":1975,"location":"Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR","dates":"","editors":"Patrick Winston and Carl Hewitt","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Miscellaneous Applications Of A.I.","track":"Miscellaneous Applications Of A.I.","number":131,"pages":{"first":827,"last":829},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
