Partial Synthesis Of Sentences By Coroutining Constraints On Different Levels Of Well-Formedness
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how the two main characteristics of the ILLICO natural language interface-guided composition mode by partial synthesis, and the modularity of the encoding of li,aguistic knowledge specifying the lexical, syntactic, semantic and conceptual levels of well-formedness-have lead us to develop an approach and a system in which all the constraints on the different levels of well-formedness are coroutined when the system analyzes a given sentence or synthesizes a partial one. We describe the principle of the general coroutining process and the associated Prolog program.

Guided Sentences Composition for Disabled People
We present the advantages of guided sentences composition for communicating in natural language with computers. We show how guidance can be achieved by means of the partial synthesis of sentences and describe our approach consisting in separating knowledge that comes under different levels of well-formedness and coroutining their treatment. This approach has led us to develop in Prolog a softwa...
