Natural Language Interface for a Multi Agent System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the natural language interface for an agent-based system, called MACS (Multi-Agent Contracting System). The MACS system is designed to provide advice in the pre-award phase of a defense contract. The original version of MACS allowed the users to query using only a list of predetermined keywords using pulldown menus. The second version of MACS incorporated a natural language interface in order to increase its usability. This study further enhances the natural language interface of MACS with a more robust parser. The paper presents the overall architecture of MACS and the parser used to further enhance the natural language interface.
