In this paper we present results on developing robust natural language interfaces by combining shallowand partialinterpretationwith dialoguemanagement. The key issue is to reduce ...
In this paper we discuss the use of discourse context in spoken dialogue systems and argue that the knowledge of the domain, modelled with the help of dialogue topics is important...
In orderto realize their full potential, multimodalsystems need to support not just input from multiple modes, but also synchronized integration of modes. Johnston et al (1997) mo...
This paper describes how to construct a finite-state machine (FSM) approximating a 'unification-based' grammar using a left-corner grammar transform. The approximation i...
In this paper I will report the result of a quantitative analysis of the dynamics of the constituent elements of Japanese terminology. In Japanese technical terms, the linguistic ...
A method is presented for segmenting text into subtopic areas. The proportion of related pairwise words is calculated between adjacent windows of text to determine their lexical s...
A lexicon is an essential component in a generation system but few efforts have been made to build a rich, large-scale lexicon and make it reusable for different generation applic...
This paper presents a corpus-based algorithm capable of inducing inflectional morphological analyses of both regular and highly irregular forms (such as broughtbring) from distrib...
Although indexes may overlap, the output of an automatic indexer is generally presented as a fiat and unstructured list of terms. Our purpose is to exploit term overlap and embedd...
