Developing natural language interfaces through NALIGE

Bill Manaris, Ranulph Glanville, T.E. Gillis

Abstract

The paper discusses the development of natural language interfaces to interactive computer systems through the NALIGE user interface management system. Such an activity is reduced to producing a set of well-formed specifications which describe lexical, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of the selected application domain. These specifications are converted by NALIGE to an autonomous natural language interface that exhibits the prescribed linguistic and functional behavior. The development of a natural language interface to Unix and its subsequent porting to MS-DOS, VAX/VMS, and VM/CMS is presented. Finally, the development of a natural language interface for Internet navigation and resource location is discussed.>
