VOX (Vocabulary Extension) Naval Text Understanding System.

Abstract

The VOX Naval Text Understanding System and its application to message processing are described. VOX is an interactive natural language processing system that parses input text into a clear meaning representation containing syntactic and semantic information at all levels of structure, from word to scenario. It also accounts for elided elements and ill-formed input, requesting user verification of its inferences as to proper interpretation. To produce the meaning representation, the parser uses Conceptual Grammar, which consists of rules derived from information contained in the knowledge base on (for example) semantic hierarchies, idioms, events, frames, and syntactic rules extended by a nonprogrammer through interaction with the extensibility system module. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Conceptual Grammar; VOX Naval Text Understanding System; Message processing.
