Typed Feature Structures as Descriptions

cmp-lg 2008-02-03 v1 Computation and Language

Abstract

A description is an entity that can be interpreted as true or false of an object, and using feature structures as descriptions accrues several computational benefits. In this paper, I create an explicit interpretation of a typed feature structure used as a description, define the notion of a satisfiable feature structure, and create a simple and effective algorithm to decide if a feature structure is satisfiable.
