NL processor of TULIPS is guided by information represented in models of current \"external world\" domain and of current user and utilizes deductive and inductive mechanisms. These features allow the program: to discover the most relevant interpretation of an input, to extract the descriptions of user's goals from NL utterances, and to generate the so-called T-£roblems ( T for TULIPS). Having solved t em TULIPS not only answers user's request but also learns new knowledge on its environment and improves its own mechanisms.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/63","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/0063.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/63.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/bibtex/63","volume":{"slug":"1975","title":"Proceedings of the Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1975","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1975/","year":1975,"location":"Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR","dates":"","editors":"Patrick Winston and Carl Hewitt","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language Understanding","track":"Natural Language Understanding","number":63,"pages":{"first":397,"last":399},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
