本文概述了学术讨论会关于自然语言理解的讨论会，随后由M。Bates，M.等人（1995）Proc. Acad. Sci. USA 92，9977-9982]和R. C.摩尔[摩尔，R. C.等人（1995）Proc. Acad. Sci. USA 92，9983-9988]。本文回顾了语言处理的双重作用，在提供理解的口头输入和一个额外的来源，在识别过程中的约束。到目前为止，语言处理已经成功地提供了理解，但只提供了有限的（和计算昂贵的）约束。因此，目前大多数系统使用一个松散耦合的，单向的接口，如N-best或单词网络，与自然语言的约束作为后处理，过滤或度假的识别器输出。然而，话语语境的水平对人们可以谈论什么和如何指称事物提供了重要的约束;当系统成为积极的参与者时，它可以影响这种秩序。但话语约束的来源还没有得到广泛的探讨，部分原因是这些影响只能通过研究系统的背景下，他们在互动解决问题的使用。本文认为，我们需要研究交互式系统，以了解什么样的应用程序是适合当前的技术状态，以及如何从实验室的技术可以走向真实的应用。
This paper provides an overview of the colloquium's discussion session on natural language understanding, which followed presentations by M. Bates [Bates, M. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92, 9977-9982] and R. C. Moore [Moore, R. C. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92, 9983-9988]. The paper reviews the dual role of language processing in providing understanding of the spoken input and an additional source of constraint in the recognition process. To date, language processing has successfully provided understanding but has provided only limited (and computationally expensive) constraint. As a result, most current systems use a loosely coupled, unidirectional interface, such as N-best or a word network, with natural language constraints as a postprocess, to filter or resort the recognizer output. However, the level of discourse context provides significant constraint on what people can talk about and how things can be referred to; when the system becomes an active participant, it can influence this order. But sources of discourse constraint have not been extensively explored, in part because these effects can only be seen by studying systems in the context of their use in interactive problem solving. This paper argues that we need to study interactive systems to understand what kinds of applications are appropriate for the current state of technology and how the technology can move from the laboratory toward real applications.
