辅助和替代沟通（AAC）是一个研究领域，涉及提供设备和技术来增强残疾人士的沟通能力，这些残疾人士很难以可理解的方式说话或以其他方式沟通。多年来，我们一直将自然语言处理技术应用于AAC领域，开发智能通信辅助工具，试图在提高通信速率的同时提供语言正确的输出。之前的努力已经产生了一个名为“Compansion”的研究原型，它可以扩展电报输入。本文描述了该研究原型，并介绍了智能解析器生成器（IPG）。IPG旨在成为研究原型的实际体现，针对一群有认知障碍影响其语言能力的用户。我们描述了comsion的理论基础和为这类用户开发可用系统的实际考虑。
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is the field of study concerned with providing devices and techniques to augment the communicative ability of a person whose disability makes it difficult to speak or otherwise communicate in an understandable fashion. For several years, we have been applying natural language processing techniques to the field of AAC to develop intelligent communication aids that attempt to provide linguistically correct output while increasing communication rate. Previous effort has resulted in a research prototype called Compansion that expands telegraphic input. In this paper we describe that research prototype and introduce the Intelligent Parser Generator (IPG). IPG is intended to be a practical embodiment of the research prototype aimed at a group of users who have cognitive impairments that affect their linguistic ability. We describe both the theoretical underpinnings of Compansion and the practical considerations in developing a usable system for this population of users.
