This study examines the recognition of the user's sound command based on speech recognition and natural language processing, and develops the natural language interface agent which can analyze the recognized command. The natural language interface agent consists of speech recognizer and semantic interpreter. Speech recognizer understands speech command and transforms the command into character strings. Semantic interpreter analyzes the character strings and creates the commands and questions to be transferred into the application program. We also consider the problems, related to the speech recognizer and the semantic interpreter, such as the ambiguity of natural language and the ambiguity and the errors from speech recognizer. This kind of natural language interface agent can be applied to the telephony environment involving all kind of communication media such as telephone, fax, e-mail, and so on.

This paper is a study on constructing a natural language interface to database, concentrating on generating textual answers. TGEN, a system that generates textual answer from query result tables is presented. The TGEN architecture guarantees its portability across domains. A combination of a frame-based approach and natural language generation techniques in the TGEN provides text fluency and text flexibility. The implementation result shows that this approach is feasible while a deep NLG approach is still far to be reached.

With the wide spread of Web services in various fields, there is a growing interest in building a composite Web service, however, it is very difficult for ordinary users to specify how to compose services. Therefore, a convenient interface for generating and invoking composite Web services are required. This paper proposes a natural language interface to invoke services. The proposed interface provides a way to describe users' requests for composite Web Services in a natural language. A user with no technical knowledge about Web services can describe requests for composite Web services through the proposed interface. The proposed method extracts a complex workflow and finds appropriate Web services from the requests. Experimental results show that the proposed method extracts a sophisticated workflow from complex sentences with many phrases and control constructs.

The computer manipulation by means of natural language prcessing will be not only helpful to use the computer with more simple and more comfortable but also flexiable to communicate between human and computers.In this paper the natural language interfaces will be applied to an intelligent geography tutoring systems(IGTS),and we will inspect the something to consider in the case of its implementation.Each module of IGTS is connected to the interface module and correspondence with each other for the sake of natural conversation between system and learner.

This study proposes a Natural Language Query Framework (NLQF) on the semantic web to support the intelligent deduction at semantic level. A large number of former researches are focused on the knowledge representation on the semantic web. However, to revitalize the intelligent agent (IA)-based automated e-business contract with human customers, there is a need for semantic level approach to the web information. To enable accessing web information at semantic level, this paper discusses the pattern of complex natural language processing at first, and then the semantic web-based natural language inference in e-business environment. The NL-based approach could help the IAs on the web to communicate with customers and other IAs with more natural interface than traditional HTML-based web information. Therefore, our proposed NLQF will be used in semantic web-based intelligent e-business contracts between customers and IAs.

The majority of work done to date on natural language processing has focused on analysis and understanding of language, thus natural language generation had been relatively less attention than understanding, And people even tends to regard natural language generation CIS a simple reverse process of language understanding, However, need for natural language generation is growing rapidly as application systems, especially multi-language machine translation systems on the web, natural language interface systems, natural language query systems need more complex messages to generate, In this paper, we propose an algorithm to generate more flexible and natural sentence using lexical functions of Igor Mel'uk (Mel'uk ＆ Zholkovsky, 1988) and systemic grammar.

In this paper, artificial intelligence applications in library and information science are reviewed. Especially, natural language processing and expert systems are represented as the two major application areas. In natural language processing, natural language interface systems and .question-answering systems are discussed in detail with some specific examples. In the second part of the paper, online search intermidiary systems, reference expert systems, classification and cataloging expert systems are described as possible expert systems to be developed in libraries and information systems. As a conclusion, implications of the artificial intelligence applications for librarians and information scientists are suggested.

In this study, by using the natural language processing of the field of artificial intelligence, automated index was performed. And then, the Natural Language Processing Interface for knowledge representation(NALPI) has been developed. Furthermore, the DEsign KnOwledge DataBase(DEKODB) has been also developed, which is designed to interlock the knowledge base. The DEKODB processes both the documented design-data, like a concrete standard specification, and the design knowledge from an expert. The DEKODB is also simulates the design space of structures accordance with the production rule, and thus it is determined that DEKODB can be used as a engine to retrieve new knowledge and to implement knowledge base that is necessary to the development of automatic design system. The application field of the system, which has been developed in this study, can be expanded by supplement of the design knowledge at DEKODB and developing dictionaries for foreign languages. Furthermore, the perfect automation at the data accumulation and development of the automatic rule generator should benefit the unified design automation.

In this paper we present a plan-based Korean dialogue system as a natural language database user interface for product search. The system can be characterized by its support for mixed initiative to give user more control over dialogue, employment of user model to reflect user' spreferences, alternative solution suggestion if there is no product matched exactly to user's requirements, handling circumlocution which frequently occurs in dialogues. The user model ing shell system BGP-MS is adapted for the system. The system provides for a user-friendly database user interface bymanaging dialogue intelligently. By its implementation and test it has been shown that the user model-based dialogue system can be utilized effectively for product search.

This paper presents a study on the introduction of User Model-Based Dialogue System. Also we present a plan-based Korean dialogue system as a natural language database user interface for product search. The system can be characterized by its support for mixed initiative to give user more control over dialogue, employment of user model to reflect user's preferences, alternative solution suggestion if there is no product matched exactly to user's requirements, handling circumlocution which frequently occurs in dialogues. The user modeling shell system BGP-MS is adapted for the system. The system provides for a user-friendly database user interface by managing dialogue intelligently. By its implementation and test, it has been shown that the user model-based dialogue system can be utilized effectively for product search.
