Open mind common sense: crowd-sourcing for common sense

Abstract

Open Mind Common Sense (OMCS) is a freely available crowd-sourced knowledge base of natural language statements about the world. The goal of Open Mind Common Sense is to provide intuition to AI systems and applications by giving them access to a broad collection of basic information and the computational tools to work with this data. For our system demo, we will be presenting three aspects of the OMCS project: the OMCS knowledge base, the Concept-Net semantic network (Liu and Singh 2004) (Havasi, Speer, and Alonso 2007), and the AnalogySpace algorithm (Speer, Havasi, and Lieberman 2008) which deals well with noisy, user-contributed data.
