Bootstrap Dialog: A Conversational English Text Parsing and Generation System
نویسنده
چکیده
A conversational English text parsing and generation system is described in which its lexicon and construction grammar rules are revised, augmented, and improved via dialog with mentors. Both the parser and generator operate in a cognitively plausible, incremental manner. Construction Grammar is well suited for a precise and robust dialog system due to its emphasis on pairing utterance form with exact logical meaning. Combining lexicon representation and grammar rule representation from the theory of Fluid Construction Grammar, with grammar constructions adopted from Double R Grammar, the system is designed to accommodate wide coverage of the English language.

Information extraction and text generation of news reports for a Swedish-English bilingual spoken dialogue system
This paper describes an experimental dialog system designed to retrieve information and generate summaries of internet news reports related to user queries in Swedish and English. The extraction component is based on parsing and on matching the parsing output against stereotypic event templates. Bilingual text generation is accomplished by filling the templates after which grammar components ge...

متن کاملBootstrapping Semantic Parsers from Conversations
Conversations provide rich opportunities for interactive, continuous learning. When something goes wrong, a system can ask for clarification, rewording, or otherwise redirect the interaction to achieve its goals. In this paper, we present an approach for using conversational interactions of this type to induce semantic parsers. We demonstrate learning without any explicit annotation of the mean...

This paper is not to compare between the Arabic language and the English language as natural languages. Instead, it focuses on the comparison among them in terms of their challenges in building text based Conversational Agents (CAs). A CA is an intelligent computer program that used to handle conversations among the user and the machine. Nowadays, CAs can play an important role in many aspects ...
متن کاملClustering novel intents in a conversational interaction system with semantic parsing
Spoken language understanding (SLU) in today’s conversational systems focuses on recognizing a set of domains, intents, and associated arguments, that are determined by application developers. User requests that are not covered by these are usually directed to search engines, and may remain unhandled. We propose a method that aims to find common user intents amongst these uncovered, out-of-doma...
