Abstract :
This paper describes the Semantic Inferentialist Analyzer (SIA), which implements an algorithm for semantic analysis of sentences that reasons on the inferential content of concepts and sentences patterns. The inferential semantic relatedness measure and the reasoning process of the SIA are described. Finally, an application of the SIA in an information extraction system about crimes - WikiCrimesIE - and the experimental results are discussed.
