Industry-University Co-operative Research Program: Acquisition and Use of Semantic Information for Natural Language Processing

这个项目强调语义的获取和使用 信息，专注于自然语言输入的鲁棒解析（在 有限域）。 此外，这项研究还解决了以下问题： 便携性、可靠性和可居住性。 它概述了 开发一套交互式工具，为 语言学家和最终用户，一套准确的特定于领域的 共现模式（主语-动词-宾语和主-修饰语 域中允许的组合）。 这套工具将部分 自动创建域信息架构（DIS），即， 处理给定域所需的域特定信息。 相同的工具集，为 最终用户，将用于支持交互式文本输入。 的工具 将提供详细的反馈，说明系统在何处无法处理 文本，由于缺少或不兼容的语义共现模式。

This project emphasizes the acquisition and use of semantic information, focusing on robust parsing of natural language inputs (in limited domains). Further, this research addresses the problems of portability, reliability, and habitability. It outlines the development of a set of interactive tools which provide, to both the linguist and the end-user, an accurate set of domain-specific co-occurrence patterns (subject-verb-object and host-modifier combinations allowed in the domain). This set of tools will partly automate the creation of the Domain Information Schema (DIS), namely, the domain-specific information required for processing a given domain. The same set of tools, provided with a different interface for the end-user, will be used to support interactive text entry. The tools will provide detailed feedback on where the system fails to process the text, due to missing or incompatible semantic co-occurrence patterns.
