# VOX - An Extensible Natural Language Processor

Amnon Meyers

*Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 821-824.

## Abstract

VOX is a Natural Language Processor whose knowledge can be extended by interaction with a user. VOX consists of a text analyzer and an extensibility system that share a knowledge base. The extensibility system Iets the user add vocabulary , concepts, phrases, events, and seenarios to the knowledge base. The analyzer uses information obtained in this way to understand previously unhandled text. The underlying knowledge representation of VOX, called Co nc eptual Grammar, has been developed to meet the severe requirements of extensibility. Conceptual Grammar uniformly represents syntactic and semantic information, and permits modular addition of knowledge.
