Story 4: I live in Waterloo
Story: I live in Waterloo Question: Where do I live? Answer: Waterloo
Note: We'll cheat for the time being by using an overly simplied transformation.
Required knowledge about the world
Waterloo is_a city "Waterloo" -> Waterloo (noun) |
|
Transformation 1
| I live in {city} -> speaker.residence.city = $1 |
|
Transformation 2
| Where do I live -> speaker.residence.location |
|
But we don't know the value of speaker.residence.location, so we're stuck. This highlights the need to be able to derive facts from other related facts. What we need is a rule that says: "If I know a person's city of residence, then I can derive in a more abstract sense where they live". |
