Interactive tool for semi-automatic creation of a domain model
TLDR
In this paper, a method, system and program product is presented for domain developers having any experience level in creating domain models, where a representation of domain model knowledge is derived from a domain specification.Abstract:
A method, system and program product 100 usable by domain developers having any experience level in creating domain models. A representation of domain model knowledge is derived from a domain specification. The domain specification includes multiple potential domain objects, e.g., tables of APIs functional arguments, and each of the potential domain objects include one or more attributes. Potential domain objects are selected one at a time 102 from the specification and offered to the developer. The developer decides 104 whether or not to include the potential domain object in the domain model. If the developer decides to include the potential domain object 106, then the system provides a default name 108, i.e., the table name or argument name, and allows the developer to rename the selected domain object 110. Then, after having selected the object, potential attributes 112, e.g., table columns 1122, are selected from the object and offered to the developer 116. If the developer decides to include a potential attribute, then a default name, i.e., the column name or name extracted from an API function, is offered 1126 for the selected attribute and the developer is allowed to rename attributes 1128. Once all the potential domain objects have been offered 118 to the developer and the developer has either decided to include the potential objects or not, the system checks the domain model for nesting structure 200. If domain objects include attributes that are shared with other domain objects 2006, then those domain objects may be reorganized such that some domain objects include instances of identically named attributes from other domain objects.read more

Intelligent Automated Assistant
Thomas R. Gruber,Adam Cheyer,Dag Kittlaus,Didier Rene Guzzoni,Christopher Dean Brigham,Richard Donald Giuli,Marcello Bastea-Forte,Harry J. Saddler +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an intelligent automated assistant system engages with the user in an integrated, conversational manner using natural language dialog, and invokes external services when appropriate to obtain information or perform various actions.

Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

TL;DR: The integration of hypermedia and an intelligent tutoring system in a newly developed authoring tool TEx-Sys (Tutor-Expert System) is presented and enables "guided free play" in accordance with the Piagetian paradigm of learning, student modelling and efficient control of the learning process.
Some apparently disjoint aims and requirements for grammar development environments” the case of natural language generation
TL;DR: Grammar development environments (GDEs) for analysis and for generation have not yet come together as mentioned in this paper, despite the fact that analysis-oriented GDEs may include some possibility of sentence generation, the development techniques and kinds of resources suggested are apparently not those required for practical, large-scale natural language generation work.
