Jumping to conclusions: Psychological reality and unreality in a word disambiguation program. Hirst, G. In Proceedings, Sixth Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, pages 179–182, Boulder, June, 1984. abstract bibtex Human language understanding sometimes jumps to conclusions without having all the information it needs or even using all that it has. So, therefore, should any psychologically real language-understanding program. How this can be done in a discrete computational model is not obvious. In this paper, I look at three aspects of the problem:
- When is information ignored?
- When is a decision made out of impatience?
- When is no decision made at all?
I give illustrations of these problems in the domain of word sense disambiguation with the Polaroid Words system.
