Natural Language Planning Dialogue for Interactive
James F. Allen, Lenhart K. Schubert · 1994
The goal of this project is to develop the underlying technologies for spoken dialogue systems to serve as highly interactive interfaces to AI-based reasoning systems. Most current speech and natural language projects are focusing on applications that involve only limited dialog, and little intelligent reasoning, such as data-base query and form-filling applications. But the great promise for speech and natural language interfaces is in providing useful interfaces to complex reasoning systems such as planning systems and expert systems.
