Abstract
We describe a theoretical system intended to facilitate the use of knowledge In an understanding system. The notion of script is introduced to account for knowledge about mundane situations. A program, SAM, is capable of using scripts to understand. The notion of plans is introduced to account for general knowledge about novel situations.

A computer system for understanding English that contains a parser, a recognition grammar of English, programs for semantic analysis, and a general problem solving system based on the belief that in modeling language understanding, it must deal in an integrated way with all of the aspects of language—syntax, semantics, and inference.

This chapter presents some criteria for evaluating ideas for representation and presents a rough sketch of a particular version of a frame representation, and discusses the ways in which it can deal with the issues raised.

This chapter discusses that the process of understanding is, in large part, the assigning of new input conceptualizations to causal sequences and the inference of remembered conceptualizations that will allow for complete causal chains.

This chapter focuses on the structure of alternative solutions to the design issues and illustrates the design options through three specific representations and the use of multiple representations within a single system.

This chapter discusses the scripts, because theory requires a good foundation at the script level, and low-level primitives such as GRASP are not the most useful components in the cognition of plans.

Using knowledge to understand
57 Citations1975Roger C. Schank
This work would extend the previous view of language analysis to the problem of understanding in general, that is, a language processor is bottom up until it gets enough information to enable it to make predictions and become top down.

At the Carbonell Memorial Conference in 1974, there was a good deal of informal discussion of the use by people of analogue simulations in knowledge retrieval or question-answering.
