Bidirectional incremental generation and analysis with Categorial Grammar and indexed quasi-logical form
Torbjörn Lager, William J. Black · 1994
We describe an approach to surface generation designed for a "pragmatics-based" dialogue system. The implementation has been extended to deal with certain well-known difficulties with the underlying linguistic formalism (Categorial Grammar) at the same time yielding a system capable of supporting incremental generation as well as interpretation. Aspects of the formalism used for the initial description that constitutes the interface with the planning component are also discussed.
