    • A Winograd schema is a pair of sentences that differ in only one or two words and that contain an ambiguity that is resolved in opposite ways in the two sentences and requires the use of world knowledge and reasoning for its resolution. The schema takes its name from a well-known example by Terry Winograd (1972):

      The city councilmen refused the demonstrators a permit because they [feared/advocated] violence.

      If the word is “feared, then “they presumably refers to the city council; if it is “advocated then “they presumably refers to the demonstrators.
