Another week - another success

Finally got Cyc to work just like I wanted it to!
I contacted Larry from Cyc and he was able to give me a version which did actually work the way I wanted it to.
Now I am back on track.
Did lots of jobs for the "Searching for Sense" blog which is private, so you won't be able to see those results.

Matter of fact I will now check my reasoning ideas in the live environment of my Cyc-world.
The game of Ludo will serve as template for eventual problems.

But first I will have to look into yet some other papers to get this straight.

For those who've been following my blog:
Annotation of text is necessary to "transfer" text into something the computer can process. This process does not work that well fully automated. Parsers cannot cope with semantics and therefore make many mistakes.
My goal is to minimize those mistakes by using knowledge/reasoning on the texts that are processes. So far the average detection rate is close to 30%.
If my reasoning can lift this rate up to 50% or higher - my goal would be reached.

Human beings tend to regularly hit the 99-100% mark, by the way.
But then they don't precisely evaluate a 200 pages document in 15mins, but more 5 weeks.

Have a great weekend.
