In this paper we present results on developing robust natural language interfaces by combining shallowand partialinterpretationwith dialoguemanagement. The key issue is to reduce ...
We have been developing a spoken language system to recognize and understand spontaneous speech. It is difficult for such systems to achieve good coverage of the lexicon and gramm...
This paper describes a new finite-state shallow parser. It merges constructive and reductionist approaches within a highly modular architecture. Syntactic information is added at ...
We present an integrated approach to speech and natural language processing which uses a single parser to create training for a statistical speech recognition component and for in...
We present a new approach for mapping natural language sentences to their formal meaning representations using stringkernel-based classifiers. Our system learns these classifiers ...
