Abstract

In this paper, a database interface system with natural language dialogue is designed and implemented. The system is made up of language analysis, context processing dialogue processing and DB processing unit. The method for classifying and processing an undefined word in language analysis is proposed. It reduces the dictionary size, which gives difficulties in DB interface. And the current DB interfaces dealt with an input utterance independently. But the system in this paper provides a user with the interface environment in which he or she can have a continuous conversation with the system and retrieve DB information. Thus in this paper, speech acts which include user''s intentions as well as propositional contents are defined, and user action hierachical model for library DB retrieval is constructed. And the system uses the defined knowledge to recognize user''s plan, effectively understanding and managing the ongoing dialogue. And the system is implemented in the domain of library database in order to prove the proposed methods in this paper.
