| Description | In this paper we discuss recent advancements in the field of knowledge representation and question-answering using natural lan-guage interfaces. The focus is to reveal projects’ weak capabilities in temporal processing, namely time modeling and reasoning over tempo-ral facts. With these deficiencies in mind, we propose new knowledge-based system called Dolphin suitable to parse sentences in Czech lan-guage, identify and model temporal information and infer answers to questions regarding time information. Fundamental theory behind Dol-phin is Transparent Intensional Logic, which is high-order intensional logic calculus. Finally, we discuss Dolphin evaluation and future work. |
