An integration of two language understanding methodologies
Philip R. Cohen · 1974
This paper describes an attempt at integrating two existing methodologies to form a natural language understanding system, and at evaluating 1.PAK, an AI language developed at the University of Toronto. The design of this prototype version is based upon Fillmore's case grammar representation and Charniak's scheme for organizing routines to update a semantic network memory. Two essential components of such a system, an English parser and generation routine, have been developed separately and are not covered here, apart from describing their interfaces with the rest of the system.
