Towards an open-domain conversational system fully based on natural language processing

چکیده
This paper proposes an architecture for an open-domain conversational system and evaluates an implemented system. The proposed architecture is fully composed of modules based on natural language processing techniques. Experimental results using human subjects show that our architecture achieves significantly better naturalness than a retrieval-based baseline and that its naturalness is close to that of a rule-based system using 149K hand-crafted rules.

Information Extraction for SQL Query Generation in the Conversation-Based Interfaces to Relational Databases (C-BIRD)
This paper presents a novel methodology of incorporating Information Extraction (IE) techniques into an Enhanced Conversation-Based Interface to Relational Databases (C-BIRD) in order to generate dynamic SQL queries. Conversational Agents can converse with the user in natural language about a specific problem domain. In C-BIRD, such agents allow a user to converse with a relational database in ...

متن کاملPresenting a method for extracting structured domain-dependent information from Farsi Web pages
Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...
متن کاملIn Context: Integrating Domain- and Situation-Specific Knowledge
We describe the role of context models in natural language processing systems and their implementation and evaluation in the SmartKom system. We show that contextual knowledge is needed for an ensemble of tasks, such as lexical and pragmatic disambiguation, decontextualizion of domain and common-sense knowledge that was left implicit by the user and for estimating an overall coherence score tha...
