These systems take input questions in natural English (subject to varying constraints) and attempt to answer the questions on the basis of a body of information, called the data base, which is stored inside the computer. This process can be conceptually divided into three phases---syntatic analysis, semantic analysis, and retrieval, as illustrated schematically in Figure 1. The first phase consists of parsing the input sentence into a structure which explicitly represents the grammatical relationships among the words of the sentence. Using this information the second component constructs a representation of the semantic content or \"meaning\" of the sentence. The remaining phase consists of procedures for either retrieving the answer directly from the data base, or else deducing the answer from information contained in the data base. The dotted lines in the figure represent the possible use of feedback from the later stages to aid in parsing and semantic interpretation.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115819775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we outline a theory and a model of verbal understanding and describe Protosynthex III, an experimental implementation of the model in the form of a general-purpose language processing system. The effectiveness of the model in representing the process of verbal understanding is demonstrated in terms of Protosynthex III's capability to disambiguate English sentences, to answer a range of English questions and to derive and generate meaning-preserving paraphrases.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"1866 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127455847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
