Tim Finin, Aravind K. Joshi, Bonnie Webber · Proceedings of the IEEE · 1986
The aim of this paper is to justify why Natural Language (NL) interaction, of a very rich functionality, is critical to the effective use of Expert Systems and to describe what is needed and what has been done to support such interaction. Interactive functions discussed here include defining terms, paraphrasing, correcting misconceptions, avoiding misconceptions, and modifying questions.
