چکیده

This paper proposes a model for ontological representation supporting task-oriented dialog. The adoption of our ontology representation allows to map an interactive Question Answering (iQA) task into a knowledge based process. It supports dialog control, speech act recognition, planning and natural language generation through a unified knowledge model. A platform for developing iQA systems in specific domains, called REQUIRE(Robust Empirical QUestion answering for Intelligent Retrieval), has been entirely developed over this model. The first prototype developed for medical consulting in the sexual health domain has been recently deployed and is currently under testing. This will serve as a basis for exemplifying the model and discussing its benefits.

Question Answering Using Ontological Semantics

This paper describes the initial results of an experiment in integrating knowledge-based text processing with real-world reasoning in a question answering system. Our MOQA “meaning-oriented question answering” system seeks answers to questions not in open text but rather in a structured fact repository whose elements are instances of ontological concepts extracted from the text meaning represen...

Evaluation plays an important role in interactive question answering systems like many computational linguistics fields. The coherence between the questions and the answers exchanged between the user and the system is one of the important criteria in evaluating these systems. In this paper, a new approach to determine the degree of coherence of generated text by the IQA systems is presented. Th...

An Ontological Inference Driven Interactive Voice Recognition System

Someone seeking entry to an access controlled facility or through a border control point may face an in person interview. Questions that may be asked in such an interview may depend on the context and vary in detail. One of the issues that interviewers face is to ask relevant questions that would enable them to either accept or reject entrance. Repeating questions asked at entry point interview...
