Natural language dialogue for intelligent planning applications
James F. Allen, Len Schubert · 1993
The goal of this project is to develop the underlying technologies for spoken dialogue systems that serve as interfaces to complex, state-of-the-art reasoning systems. Most current speech and natural language projects are focusing on applications that involve very little intelligent reasoning, such as data-base query and form-filling. However, the great promise for speech and natural language interfaces is in providing useful interfaces to complex AI reasoning systems such as planning systems and expert systems.
