چکیده

Résumé : La Prothèse Vocale Intelligente est un système de communication qui reconstitue le sens — supposé — d’une séquence peu structurée d’icônes ou de symboles, et l’exprime par des phrases en langue naturelle (français). Elle a été développée pour l’usage de personnes ne possédant pas la mâıtrise du langage oral, et en particulier incapables de s’exprimer en suivant les règles d’une grammaire complexe comme celle de la langue. Nous décrivons ici la construction d’un dictionnaire sémantique de symboles simple et pertinent à partir des corpus de communication icônique relevés auprès d’enfants Infirmes Moteurs Cérébraux (IMC). Nous expliquerons ensuite le mécanisme d’analyse sémantique ascendante qui permet, en déterminant les dépendances entre symboles, de trouver le sens des messages de l’utilisateur. À partir du résultat de cette analyse, un module de transfert lexical choisit les mots français les mieux adaptés pour l’exprimer, et construit un réseau sémantique linguistique. Celui-ci est ensuite hiérarchisé, grâce à une Grammaire d’Arbres Adjoints (TAG) lexicalisée, en arbres syntaxiques de phrases françaises. Enfin, nous décrirons l’interface d’accès paramétrable qui a été définie pour ce système.

Converting First Order Logic into Natural Language: A First Level Approach

In this paper, we present the FOLtoNL system, which converts first order logic (FOL) sentences into natural language (NL) ones. The motivation comes from an intelligent tutoring system teaching logic as a knowledge representation language, where we use it as a means for feedback to the users. FOL to NL conversion is achieved by using a rule-based approach, where we exploit the pattern matching ...
