Abstract

It is obvious that the computer systems having commonsense knowledge is more usefull. When the user types "my cat is sick" into the virtual asistant with commonsense knowledge, the system serves the list of veterinarians addresses in the user's area. For English and several languages there are several attempts to construct such systems. In this study, the first Turkish commonsense database (CSdb) and CSoyun (a game with a purpose) is presented. CSoyun is designed to draw upon the internet community in order to add new assertions and rate the existing assertions in the CSdb and thereby improve the quality of the database.

Keywords

Commonsense Databases, semantic web, natural language processing, automated reasoning, non-monotonic reasoning, games with a purpose, gamification, knowledge acquisition, knowledge extraction, feedback mechanisms, artificial intelligence.
