I think it could help a lot in solving one problem you currently have: Mapping multiple roughly-synonymous ways of saying the same thing, into the same logical relationship-set (you've referred to this as phrase-level "synonymy" before). The way it helps is by constituting a viable "logical normal form" for everyday commonsense statements...
I think it can also help, down the road, in terms of enabling automatic (no hand coded rules) building of mapping rules between syntactico-semantic rules learned by unssupervised learning, and logical relationships that are tractable for PLN to reason on... -- Ben On Sat, Jul 9, 2016 at 8:03 AM, Linas Vepstas <linasveps...@gmail.com> wrote: > FWIW, I am virulently anti-lojban, because mostly I believe it doesn't solve > any problems that we actually have. --linas > > On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 9:12 AM, Jim Rutt <jimr...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I like this idea very much.
