Ive just visited their site, http://www.unl.ias.unu.edu (1) the most important thing I noticed about UNL is that it is what I'd call a "black-box representation", not intended as a real language that humans could use. (2) i simply cant believe that UNL is feasible without the success of natural-language comprehension by computers. their web site says "When it is found that the result is not correct enough, user can either rewrite the original document or produce UNL interactively according to the guidance which is provided by the editor". (3) UNL's technical details are not open to the general public. this is quite different from the idea in my project and is quite against my philosophy. anyway, Im surprised that UNL is so similar to what i had in mind :) > Bohdan dassbiba@yahoo.com Yan King Yin http://members.tripod.com/kickle --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- ---Share what you know.
