Technical Definition
An AI approach representing domain knowledge using a limited set of generally understood concepts.
How it works
Naive semantics is a method for representing knowledge about a specific domain, often used in natural language understanding. It relies on a straightforward, common-sense understanding of concepts within that domain rather than complex formal logic. This approach has been applied to tasks like understanding natural language sentences and designing data schemas.
