Flexible Communication Based on Linguistic and Ontological Cues
Résumé
The paper addresses the issue of communication between a human and a set of distributed agents. The approach consists of two steps: a first step to identify possible actions requested by the human, and a second step where natural language data are interpreted by agents that possibly could execute the selected action. Action selection involves using linguistic cues, processing the input sentence uses ontological cues as well as the knowledge-base structure. The architecture can be extended to information systems, an example of which is given in the paper.
