An Interactive Natural Language Interface for PROLEG

Constructing an Interactive Natural Language Interface for Relational Databases

Natural language has been the holy grail of query interface designers, but has generally been considered too hard to work with, except in limited specific circumstances. In this paper, we describe the architecture of an interactive natural language query interface for relational databases. Through a carefully limited interaction with the user, we are able to correctly interpret complex natural ...

An Intelligent Natural-language Interface for ArcView

The ordinary GIS systems use command line, menu or window interface, which are difficult for a naïve user to use. In this paper, SNePS (the Semantic Network Processing System) is used to represent geographic spatial knowledge. An intelligent naturallanguage interface between ArcView and SNePS (the Semantic Network Processing System) was implemented. The interface will accept the input command a...

Natural-Language Interface for an Instructable Robot

Natural-Language Interface

Natural-language (NL) interfaces built so far have primarily addressed the problem of accessing information stored in conventional data base systems. Among the proven capabilities exhibited by these systems are those that: • Provide reasonably good NL access to specific data bases • Access multiple, remote data bases. • Answer direct questions. ( "What is Smith's salary?") • Coordinate multiple...

Hardware Natural Language Interface

In this paper an efficient architecture for natural language processing is presented, implemented in hardware using FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). The system can receive sentences belonging to a subset of Natural Languages (NL) from the internet or as SMS (Short Message Service). The recognition task of the input string uses Earley’s parallel parsing algorithm and produces intermediate...
