HELP: A QUESTION ANSWERING SYSTEM,
Abstract
HELP - A Question Answering System - enables a user, sitting at a console of a time-shaped computer, to obtain information on questions typed in. This information might concern the operating system itself, the format of commands to the user interface executive program, the use of a selected subsystem, or an area totally separate from the computer. The content of the data base in HELP is completely arbitrary, and determined by the creator of each individual system. Questions are presented to HELP in standard English. A second system, called QAS, was developed to enable a user to conveniently generate a HELP program. The paper will discuss the structure of both programs.
