A logic-based environment for developing natural language processing applications

Gérard Milhaud, Élisabeth Godbert (1998)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

We present a system providing a set of tools for developing natural language processing (NLP) applications such as natural language interfaces, communication aid systems, etc. This system is based on two principles: modularity of knowledge representation to ensure the portability of the system, and guided sentence composition to ensure transparency, i.e. to ensure that the produced sentences are well-formed at the lexical, syntactic, semantic and conceptual levels. We first describe...

Contexts, locality and generality.

Similarity:

It has been recognized that AI programs suffer from a lack of generality, the first gross symptom being that a small variation to the problem being solved usually causes a major revision of the theory describing it. The lack of generality seems an unavoidable consequence of the process of approximating the world while building theories about it. In this paper we propose an approach where generality is achieved by formulating, for each problem at hand, an appropriate local theory, a theory...
