<p> Natural Language Understanding (NLU) has been one of the longest-running and the most challenging areas in artificial intelligence. For any natural language comprehension system having a basic understanding of entities and concepts is a primary requirement. Comparison, where we name the similarities and differences between entities and concepts, is a unique cognitive ability in humans which requires memorizing facts, experiencing things and integration of concepts of the world. Clearly, developing NLU systems that are capable of comprehending comparison is a crucial step forward in AI. In this thesis, I will present my research on developing systems that are capable of comprehending comparison, through which, systems can learn world knowledge and perform basic commonsense reasoning.</p><p>
