We propose a model for transfer in machine translation which uses a rewriting system for typed feature structures. The grammar definitions describe transfer relations which are ap...
In BBN's natural language understanding and generation system (Janus), we have used a hybrid approach to representation, employing an intensional logic for the representation...
This paper presents a computational model ofverb acquisitionwhich uses what we willcallthe principle of structured overeommitment to eliminate the need for negative evidence. The ...
In order to take steps towards establishing a methodology for evaluating Natural Language systems, we conducted a case study. We attempt to evaluate two different approaches to an...
We present an algorithm for generating strings from logical form encodings that improves upon previous algorithms in that it places fewer restrictions on the class of grammars to ...

Near-term spoken language systems willlikely be limited in their interactive capabilities. To design them, we shall need to model how the presence or absence of speaker interactio...
