Abstract
The name of the system is “THE CG MARS LANDER”, which stands for Type Hierarchy Enhanced CG Matching And Retrieval System Linear Associative N-tuple Deductive Embedded Representation. The application is text retrieval. The technique involves translation of text fragments into an informationally ordered form (CGs) and retrieval on the induced subsumption ordering. This application is a linearized CG, NLP, query, matching and retrieving system. English discourse is converted into CGs which are stored in an associative database. The hierarchical database is guided by content morphology and associated ontological type hierarchy, to produce a partially ordered “more general than” hierarchy based on subgraph containment. Due to the nature of the ADB a query is answered by being inserted into the DB. The query's successors in the DB are the answers to the query, as well as the (more specific) retrieved relevancies.
