Research in Knowledge Representation for Natural Language Communication and Planning Assistance

Abstract

BBN's DARPA project in Knowledge Representation for Natural Language Communication and Planning assistance has two primary objectives: 1) To perform research on aspects of the interaction between users who are making complex decisions and systems that are assisting them with their task. In particular, this research is focused on communication and the reasoning required for performing its underlying tasks of discourse processing, planning and plan recognition and communication repair; and 2) Based on the research objectives, to build tools for communication, plan recognition, and planning assistance and for the representation of knowledge and reasoning that underlie of all of these processes. This report summarizes BBN's second year's activity in research in knowledge representation and natural language. In particular, the report discusses work in the areas of knowledge representation, planning, and discourse modeling. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Semantics; Robotics.
