Divisi is a library for reasoning by analogy and association over semantic networks , including common sense knowledge. Divisi uses a sparse higher-order SVD can help find related concepts, features, and relation types in any knowledge base that can be represented as a semantic network. By including common sense knowledge from ConceptNet , the results can include relationships not expressed in the original data but related by common sense.
