Computing presuppositions by contextual reasoning

Christof Monz

In: P. Brézillon, R. Turner, J-C. Pomerol and E. Turner (Eds.) Proceedings of the AAAI-99 Workshop on Reasoning in Context for AI Applications, AAAI Press, 1999, pp. 75-79.

This paper describes how automated deduction methods for natural language processing can be applied more efficiently by encoding context in a more elaborate way. Our work is based on formal approaches to context, and we provide a tableau calculus for contextual reasoning. This is explained by considering an example from the problem area of presupposition projection.
