Evidential Reasoning (ER) algorithm [2722] used to develop the aggregation process of inference engine of this Neuro-BRB Inference system architecture. The inference engine of this system architecture…

Local inferences involve connecting explicitly stated pieces of information to each other into an overall network, while global inferences automatically connect separate pieces of information in a text into a framework (McKoon and Ratcliff, 1992). Among different models of lexical inferencing, the two main ones are Minimalist Hypothesis (McKoon & Ratcliff, 1992) and Constructionist Theory (Graesser, Singer & Trabasso, 1994). The Minimalist Hypothesis asserts that a few number of inferences which…
