Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research was to build a logical framework for analyzing natural language inferences in a way that is more in line with the structure of natural language, using the methods of proof theory in modern logic and diagrammatic logic. On the basis of a type-theoretic syntax (categorial grammar), I developed a compositional semantics and proof system for inferences with various linguistic phenomena in natural language. I also developed a method to apply this framework to the task of recognizing textual entailment in computational linguistics.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

人は自然言語を使っていともたやすく情報を伝達したり収集したりすることができる。しかし、その仕組みを理論的に解明することは決して容易なことではない。特に自然言語による推論は、言語の構造と意味、常識や世界知識、言葉が使用される文脈などさまざまな要因が関与した複雑な現象である。本研究ではこの研究に主に現代論理学の証明論の手法を用いて取り組んだ。特に文脈を考慮してさまざまな文の意味を合成的に導出し、自動推論を行う理論的な枠組み、またそれを計算言語学の含意関係認識の問題に応用する方法を発展させ、その成果を公開した。
