Thanks for the example. I'm pleasantly surprised that it was able
to do that well. It illustrates the point that NLP parsing technology
is not bad, even with an ontology that is not adequate for the domain. (02)
But there are huge gaps in the interpretation of what the words refer to
(e.g., China is a place, but by metonomy the intended meaning is the
Chinese government). And it makes no attempt to analyze the metaphor
of channeling an abstraction like rivalry into some kind of process
(trade) or something physical (weaponry). And good luck in trying
to interpret the comparative 'more than' that relates them. (03)
By the way, I responded to Chris's complaint by numbering the slides
