Relex errors: more problems with progressive tense

anitzkin opened this issue · comments

-- in the question, "what are you saying?" relex interprets "you" as a predadj (which means it is not recognizing "are" as an AUX

-- in the question "what are we going to do?" relex inteprets "to" as the object of "are" (because it's not recognizing "are" as AUX)

-- similar problems with "when are you coming?" and many other sentences using progressive tense.

RelEx, by design, never generates aux for anything, unless you put it into 'stanford-compatibility mode', in which case it does. But that mode also turns off many other things that relex does generate (because they're incompatible with stanford...)

its likely, however, that even in stanford-compat mode, aux s not being generated.

I started looking into correcting relex on this, and then I realized that treating the progressive participle as a predicate adjective delivers the same results to the atomspace, so I may just write the predadj Q-rules for those question types that don't have them yet . . .
