Abstract
In order to answer questions successfully on behalf of the human contestant in DeepQA environments such as 'Jeopardy!', the American quiz show, the computer needs to have the capability of fast temporal and spatial reasoning on a large-scale commonsense knowledge base. In this paper, we present a hybrid spatial reasoning algorithm, among various efficient spatial reasoning methods, for handling directional and topological relations. Our algorithm not only improves the query processing time while reducing unnecessary reasoning calculation, but also effectively deals with the change of spatial knowledge base, as it takes a hybrid method that combines forward and backward reasoning. Through experiments performed on the sample spatial knowledge base with the hybrid spatial reasoner of our algorithm, we demonstrated the high performance of our hybrid spatial reasoning algorithm.
