Menu-based natural language understanding

Harry Tennant

Abstract

Menu-Based Natural Language Understanding is a new approach to building natural language interfaces. It retains the main goals of natural language systems: flexibility, expressive power, learnability and mnemonicity. However, it solves most of the problems inherent to conventional natural language systems. All queries are understood by the system, interface generation is much simpler, and less computing power is required. Many interfaces have been built using the menu-based natural language technology.
