This paper presents a manned-vehicle/unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) mission system that enables an operator in a manned aircraft to issue mission level commands to an autonomous aircraft in real time. A natural language interface allows... more
Most existing natural language database interfaces (NLDBs) were designed to be used with database systems that provide very limited facilities for manipulating time-dependent data, and they do not support adequately temporal linguistic... more
This paper present the treatment of prepositions and conjunctions in natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDB) that allows better translation of queries expressed in natural language into formal languages. Prepositions and... more
Depending on a content-based spatio-temporal video data model, a natural language interface is implemented to query the video data. The queries, which are given as English sentences, are parsed using Link Parser, and the semantic... more
A multifunctional NLP environment, ETAP-3 linguistic processor, is presented. The environment, largely based on the Meaning Text Theory, offers several NLP applications, including a machine translation system, a module of synonymous... more
As an alternative to dominant cognitive-constructivist approaches to educational technology, this article makes the case for what has been termed a discursive, or postcognitive, psychological research paradigm. It does so by adapting... more
The development of robots capable of accepting instructions in terms of familiar concepts to the user is still a challenge. For these robots to emerge it's essential the development of natural language interfaces, since this is... more
This short paper describes a systems biology software tool that can engage in a dialogue with a biologist by responding to questions posed to it in English (or another natural language) regarding the behavior of a complex biological... more
This paper presents CoCo, a system that automates web tasks on a user's behalf through an interactive conversational interface. Given a short command such as" get road conditions for highway 88," CoCo synthesizes a plan to... more
In this paper we present an efficient context-free (CF) bottom-up, non deterministic parser. It is an extension of the ICA (Immediate Constituent Analysis) parser proposed by Grishman (1976), and its major improvements are described.
Abstract: Semantic Web technologies allow for a simplified way to represent machine perishable knowledge over Web and have significant implications in extending Web capabilities beyond our current imagination. However, in order to bring... more
