Editorial Intelligent Help Systems for UNIX: Natural Language Dialogue

  • Chapter
Intelligent Help Systems for UNIX

  • 90 Accesses

Abstract

This is the last of a series of three special issues on intelligent help systems for UNIX.1 This issue addresses natural language dialogue whereas the previous issues focussed on computational models and systems and planning and knowledge representation, respectively. In this collection, the focus is not upon issues of parsing and production per se, even though several of the systems described here in have significant capacities in this dimension. Instead, work here has evolved more intimately within the context of consultation systems, a topic seldom dealt with by other natural language systems. Nevertheless, the issues discussed are of general concern within natural language processing.
