While studying natural language processing I’ve come across the subject of Conceptual Dependencies. I’ve seen examples like this:
(PTRANS ACTOR(MARY) TO(SCHOOL))
(ATRANS ACTOR(JOHN) OBJECT(BOOK) TO(MARY))
What exactly do these lines mean? Specifically what are the definition of terms like PTRANS and ATRANS?
ptrans-transfer of the physical location of an object
atrans-transfer of an abstract relationship.
these words are used for representing conceptualization.these words represent conceptualization correspond to semantic relations among the underlying concepts.
