Inferential role semantics

Inferential role semantics is used to help computers understand information from text. Basically, it's like asking a computer to figure out what the text means. For example, if you give a computer the sentence "John ate an apple" it can use inferential role semantics to figure out that John is the person who ate the apple. By understanding the roles that each part of the sentence (person, object, action) plays, computers can understand the meaning of the sentence.
