Many of the more ambitious goals of artificial intelligence have proved unattainable because of the failure of the many small, successful systems to scale up. The general use of technologies such as naturallanguage interfaces and expert systems has done little to alleviate the basic difficulties and overwhelming cost of knowledgeengineering. At the same time, emerging text processing techniques, including data extraction from text and new text retrieval methods, offer a means of accessing stores of information many times larger than any organized knowledge base or database. Although knowledge acquisition from text is at the heart of the information management problem, interpreting text, paradoxically, requires large amounts of knowledge, mainly about the way words are used in context. In other words, before intelligent text processing systems can be trained to mine for useful knowledge, they must already have enough knowledge to interpret what they read. The point at which there is "enough", is still a matter of debate, as no real program seems close to having enough knowledge to achieve general human-like understanding. Current research in large-scale naturallanguageprocessing has come, rightly, to focus on lexical acquisition as the key to future progress. Unfortunately, the current state of the art is quite far from the recipe for acquiring knowledge about words, because it leans too heavily on resources that are available, without consideration for what is needed.< >

This paper presents a knowledge-based user interface model system for support of a mining teleoperation. The model makes extensive use of non-verbal sentential structures (NVSS). The NVSS is built with the GURU/sup tm/ expert system and natural a languageprocessing shell. Conceptually, the elements of the NVSS are built around the user intentions which allow knowledge representation about mining tasks as finite state grammars of behavioral as well as task trajectories. A prototype dialogue-based interaction system known as OASIP (Open Architecture for System Interaction Platform) is developed. OASIP is an adaptive system that exploits several sources of environmental knowledge from built-in blackboard cells.

A joint learning algorithm which enabled the parameters in an integrated speech and language model to be trained jointly, was proposed in this paper. The integrated model enhanced the spoken language system with high level knowledge, and operated in a character-synchronous mode. This integration model was tested on the task of recognizing isolated Chinese characters in the speaker independent mode with very large vocabulary of 90,495 words, and the performance of 88.26% character accuracy rate was obtained. In contrast, only 75.71% accuracy rate was achieved with the baseline system, which directly coupled the speech recognizer with a character bi-gram language module. Afterwards, the parameters of both speech and language modules were jointly adjusted according to their contribution in discrimination. The dynamic range variations among the parameters in different modules were also well tuned during the learning processes. After applying this procedure to the character-synchronous integration model, a very promising result of 94.16% character accuracy (75.96% error reduction rate) was obtained.< >

In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest among the computing community in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in the areas of naturallanguageprocessing and knowledge-based systems (KBS). The medical domain has seen the development of hundreds of KBSs and there is substantial evidence to show that the application of a knowledge-based approach to decision support can go a long way towards overcoming the information overload experienced by many clinicians today. Yet many of these medical KBSs are still at the prototype stage and are mainly confined to research laboratories. There are many reasons for this apparently slow take-up of the technology, but one of the most significant is the lack of integration into the regular routine information processing of the organisation, in particular the database processing. This paper discusses the benefits of such integration and methods for achieving it in the context of general trends in information systems. Database technology provides efficient and secure management of large amounts of data in a multi-user, multiapplication environment. knowledge-based technology, on the other hand, provides mechanisms for building intelligent systems. Thus, for example, given a set of facts about a domain (symptoms, laboratory test results, etc.) together with a set of rules which apply to that domain (e.g.'if TT4 > 150 nmol/l then suspect hyperthyroidism'), a KBS can deduce new information about that domain automatically. The effective integration of these two technologies is seen as a means of achieving the intelligent information systems of the future. There are three basic approaches to integrating KBSs and databases. The first is to start with the KBS and incorporate data management functions. Alternatively, intelligence from the KBS can be incorporated into the database. Finally, the two systems can be allowed to coexist as independent systems which can talk to each other by means of standard interfaces.

The human reading process makes use of a number of knowledge sources which communicate with each other in arriving at correct interpretation. In order to obtain human competing performance in machines, this knowledge integration capability has to be built into the machines. A strategy for integration of the naturallanguage syntactic knowledge in the text recognition task is presented. The syntactic knowledge layer is helpful only in those cases where the bottom-up hypothesized word alternatives belong to different syntactic categories. However, in the cases of unresolved ambiguities, the system comes with character pairs/groups over which more computationally-intensive low level processing is performed to ascertain its/their correct identity(/ies).< >

Human learning on linguistic level is superior to other kinds of learning. If a neural network can be trained by naturallanguage instead of numerical data, we can train machines as well as human beings without detailed training data. Conventional neural networks need numerical data to be trained. On the other hand, a linguistic level learning is able to train machines as if they were human beings. In this paper, we propose a linguistic instructions learning method based on a fuzzy associative memory network, which acquires knowledge from naturallanguage, and we refine a facial expressions model by means of this method.
In this paper, we present a parallel computational model for the integration of speech and naturallanguageprocessing (NLP). We have developed a parallel speech understanding system on the semantic network array proc...
