Abstract
Natural language understanding is an important, and also a very difficult domain in AI. Early in the 1950’s and 1960’s, people attempted to work on sentence understanding. Research on story understanding began in 1970’s, whose difficulty and complexity are much larger than those of sentence understanding. A survey of research on story understanding was already given in chapter one of this book. Up to now, scientists have not found any mature and effective theories or techniques to analyse and understand stories. Research on story understanding remains in an exploratory status.
