Application of the NOK method in sentence modelling

Abstract

Knowledge representation is one of the areas covered by artificial intelligence. One of the methods for graphical representation of text expressed knowledge is the method NOK (Nodes Of Knowledge). NOK method enables transformation of text expressed knowledge into a graphical network of words and group of words. In this paper application of NOK method is presented. This application is based on sentences from an Aesop's Fable in Croatian ("Golden eggs in the chicken") and English ("The Goose with the golden eggs") version. In this way the applicability of this method on two natural human languages is presented, and similarities and differences that are partially conditioned by freedom of translators, and not only by differences in the syntax of the two languages, are observed.

Fable Representation in FNOK and DNOK Formalisms Using the NOK Conceptual Framework

“…One fable in two languages translated by two different authors is shown in [16]. A knowledge network is created for these translations using the NOK method.…”

Nouns in the Conceptual Framework "Node of Knowledge"

“…Initial research [12][13][14] showed that it is possible to model sentences in natural language using conceptual framework NOK. Additional research showed that NOK is applicable in different languages, without adaptation of algorithms of the question answering (QA) system, under condition that rules are well defined [15].…”
