Th e objective of the XC ALIBUR project is to meet this need by providing natural comprehension and generation in the context of a fo cused mi xed- initiative dialog. The XCALIBUR archi tecture is discussed, including its three central components (parser, generat or and information manage r) , its methods of handling ellipsis and imperfect input, and its relation to the underlying ex pert system.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/156","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/0156.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/156.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/bibtex/156","volume":{"slug":"1983","title":"Proceedings of the Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1983","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/","year":1983,"location":"Karlsruhe, West Germany","dates":"","editors":"Alan Bundy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":156,"pages":{"first":653,"last":655},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
