Integrating Linguistic and World Knowledge for Domain-Adaptable Natural Language Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, natural language interfaces (NLIs) show strong demands on various smart devices from wearable devices, cell phones, televisions, to vehicles. Domain adaptation becomes one of the major challenging issues to support the applications on different domains. In this paper, we propose a framework of domain-adaptable NLIs to integrate linguistic knowledge and world knowledge. Given a knowledge base of a target domain and the function definition of a target smart device, the corresponding NLI system is developed under the framework. In the experiments, we demonstrate a Chinese NLI system for a video on demand (VOD) service.

Interaction of Knowledge Sources in a Portable Natural Language Interface
This paper describes a general approach to the design of natural language interfaces that has evolved during the development of DATALOG, an English database query system based on Cascaded ATN grammar. By providing separate representation schemes for linguistic knowledge, general world knowledge, and application domain knowledge, DATALOG achieves a high degree of portability and
متن کاملThe Distinction between Linguistic and Conceptual Semantics in Medical Terminology and its Implications for NLP-Based Knowledge Acquisition
Natural language understanding systems have to exploit various kinds of knowledge to be able to represent the meaning behind texts. Getting this knowledge in place is often such a huge enterprise that it is tempting to look for systems that can discover such knowledge automatically. In this paper, we describe how the distinction between conceptual and linguistic semantics probably can assist in...
متن کاملMeaning Representation for Knowledge Sharing in Practical Machine Translation
Knowledge-based machine translation can be viewed as the problem of extracting and representing the meaning of a text and generating a translation in a target language using the meaning representation. Meaning extraction requires the integration of information present explicitly in a text with common sense and domain knowledge given to the system. Thus, integrating linguistic knowledge of each ...
متن کاملA set of Tools for Integrating Linguistic and Non-Linguistic Information
In this position paper we describe the actual state of the development of an integrated set of tools (called SCHUG) for language processing supporting interaction with disparate sources of information, making thus Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Human Language Technology (HLT) even more relevant for Information Technology (IT) applications. The set of tools is realizing the communication ...
متن کاملBidirectional Use of Knowledge in the Multi-modal NL Access System XTRA
The acceptability and effectiveness of an expert system is critically dependent on its user interface. Natural language could be a well-suited communicative medium; however, current NL interfaces to expert systems show an impeding number of shortcomings. In this paper, it is shown how the XTRA system a German NL interface between a user and one of various expert systems employs a framework of n...
