RESEARCHER is a system that reads, remembers, generalizes from, and answers questions about complex technical texts, patent abstracts in particular. In this paper we discuss three current areas of research involving RESEARCHER -- the generalization of hierarchically structured representations; the use of long-term memory in text processing, specifically in re so lving ambiguity; and the tailoring of answers to questions to the Ievel of expertise of different users.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/170","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/0170.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/170.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/bibtex/170","volume":{"slug":"1985","title":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1985","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/","year":1985,"location":"Los Angeles, California, USA","dates":"","editors":"Aravind Joshi","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":170,"pages":{"first":858,"last":861},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
