Mixed Depth Representations in the B2 System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of our tutoring system, B2. It describes the natural language and knowledge representation components of B2, and our approach to the representation of questions and requests. The domain that we have developed most thoroughly helps medical students learn a statistical model for medical diagnosis. Many of the examples will be taken from this domain. According to B2’s plans for tutoring, the system does this by generating story problems that describe a scenario and then asking the student about conclusions that might be drawn. B2 also supports requests to explain its reasoning and questions about facts.

Mixed Depth Representations for Dialog Processing
We describe our work on developing a general purpose tutoring system that will allow students to practice their decision-making skills in a number of domains. The tutoring system, B2, supports mixed-initiative natural language interaction. The natural language processing and knowledge representation components are also general purpose|which leads to a tradeo between the limitations of super cia...
متن کاملUsing both Binary and Residue Representations for Achieving Fast Converters in RNS
In this paper, a new method is introduced for improving the efficiency of the Residue Number System, which uses both binary and residue representations in order to represent a number. A residue number system uses the remainder of the division in several different modules. Conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers greatly increase the speed of...
متن کاملMixed-Level Knowledge Representations and Variable-Depth Inference in Natural Language Processing
A system is described that uses a mixed-level knowledge representation based on standard Horn Clause Logic to represent (part of) the meaning of natural language documents. A variable-depth search strategy is outlined that distinguishes between the different levels of abstraction in the knowledge representation to locate specific passages in the documents. A detailed description of the linguist...

A system is described that uses a mixed-level representation of (part of) the meaning of natural language documents (based on standard Horn Clause Logic) and a variable-depth search strategy that distinguishes between the different levels of abstraction in the knowledge representation to locate specific passages in the documents. Mixed-level representations as well as variabledepth search strat...
