In the Word Expert Parser, knowledge about language is diatributed acroaa a povulation of procedural expert!. each representing a word of the language, and each an expert at diagnosing that word a intended usage in context. tne parser is structured around a coroutine control environment in which the generator-like word experts ask questions and exchange information in coming to collective agreement on sentence meaning. The Word Expert theory is advanced as a better cognitive model of human language expertise than the traditional rule-baaed approach. The technical discussion is organized around examples taken from the prototype LISP syatem which implements parts of the theory.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/160","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/0160.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/160.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/bibtex/160","volume":{"slug":"1979","title":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1979","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/","year":1979,"location":"Tokyo, Japan","dates":"August 20-23, 1979","editors":"Bruce G.
