AN EXAMPLE FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING AND THE AI PROBLEMS IT RAISES

An Example for Natural Language Understanding and the AI Problems it Raises I think this 1976 memorandum is of 1996 interest. The problems it raises haven't been solved or even substantially reformulated.

1999: Story understanding - Erik Mueller confirms my opinion that the problems of understanding the Mr. Hug story haven't been solved yet. They await researchers in the next millenium.

That's this millenium now.
