The system is a part of ELI (English Language Interpreter) which is used as the front end to several natural language understanding systems and is capable of handling a wide range of sentences of considerable complexity. NGP processes the input from left to right, one word at a time, using linguistic and world knowledge to find the meaning of a noun group. Dictionary entries for individual words contain much of the program's knowledge. In addition, a limited ability for the handling of slightly incorrect sentences and unknown words is incorporated.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/26","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/0026.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/26.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/bibtex/26","volume":{"slug":"1977","title":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1977","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1977/","year":1977,"location":"Cambridge, MA, USA","dates":"","editors":"Raj Reddy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":26,"pages":{"first":132,"last":137},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
