ThoughtTreasure commonsense knowledge base

a commonsense knowledge base and architecture for natural language processing that uses multiple representations including logic, finite automata, grids, and scripts. The ThoughtTreasure knowledge base consists of:

* 35,000 English words and phrases,
* 21,000 French words and phrases,
* 27,000 concepts, and
* 51,000 commonsense assertions about those concepts.

The ThoughtTreasure architecture consists of:

* a text agency for tagging words, phrases, and named entities in text,
* a syntactic component for producing syntactic parse trees,
* a semantic component for producing surface-level semantic parses and resolving anaphora,
* a generator for converting assertions into English and French,
* a planning agency for achieving goals in a simulated world, and
* an understanding agency for producing an in-depth understanding of a text.
