Natural Language Access to a Large Data Base.

Abstract

The report describes the first year's accomplishments toward a natural language system which answers questions about a data base of naval aircraft maintenance and flight data. The system is designed to: Allow a user to ask questions in natural English; provide answers to questions requiring averaging, statistical analysis, comparison of set of data, and other complex functions as well as answers to simpler questions about specific data base records; provide aid in evaluating and predicting the causes of failures and of the need for excessive amount of maintenance work.
