The program works with a formal grammar describing sentences syntactically and a formal semantics transducing texts to networks dependent on their syntactic description. The networks' nodes have concepts or again networks as their values. The networks' edges are many-place relations among the concepts respectively networks. They are realized as reference structures. The program in its actual state works on domains which are to comprehend semantically rather well: A network has be en constructured automatically for the area of general topology from a compendium's definitions (N.Bourbaki. Elements of Mathematics. General topology). Another one is being constructed for the area of computer science.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/68","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/0068.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/68.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/bibtex/68","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":"Natural Language Understanding","track":"Natural Language Understanding","number":68,"pages":{"first":429,"last":434},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
