Natural Language Based Information Retrieval,
Abstract
A program which accepts natural language queries can allow a nontechnical user to easily obtain information from a large non-uniform data base. To date most natural language systems have used parsers whose operation bears dubious resemblance to human language understanding and furthermore, these systems have proved to be difficult to extend to new data bases. This paper discusses the design of a new natural language data base interrogation system which should overcome these difficulties.
