Record 3 2011-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Telecommunications
DEF

A program that uses information in natural language input to fill data structures that the rest of the system can use; it identifies the various components of the input sentence and constructs an internal representation using syntactic and semantic clues.

CONT

X-TRA and XTRA-TE share the same analyzer, a syntax driven top-down, depth-first parser written in the formalism of definite clause grammars ..., but augmented with semantic routines for carrying out lexical and structural disambiguation. The parser takes the English input sentence ... and accomplishes syntactic/semantic analysis on the list. Syntax and semantics are closely integrated so that syntactically well-formed but semantically invalid parses are ruled out as early as possible.

CONT

FGA, unlike other attempted natural language parser, is based on only a small subset of the complete French grammar and dictionary.

CONT

We intend to encourage language learners to communicate with their pen pals electronically. ... the intended mail message will first be subjected to one of our language analysers. The user will be helped to correct his/her message to an adequate level of grammatical correctness.

Key term(s)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Programmes et programmation (Informatique)
  • Télécommunications
DEF

Programme qui part d'un texte en langue naturelle pour aboutir à la représentation intermédiaire du sens du texte.

CONT

Un système intelligent [...] est à même d'extraire des connaissances de l'information que lui transmet son utilisateur. Ce qui implique au moins l'existence d'un analyseur (parseur).

CONT

L'élève doit écrire en toutes lettres sa réponse en la tapant au clavier. Un analyseur de réponse vérifiera si ce qu'il a écrit correspond à une réponse attendue ou non.

OBS

Le terme «parseur» est dérivé du latin «pars orationis».

PHR

analyseur déterministe, syntaxico-sémantique, logique, micro-analyseur.

Record 4 1989-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

... the semantic parser is designed to produce exactly the system’s internal interpretation of the request: a functional form instantiated to the extent that values for the function and for its arguments were provided in the input sentence. Some system parameters determine the degree of fuzziness allowed in parsing each semantic category by prescribing, for instance, the number of words that can be skipped if they do not fit into the grammatical definition of the current category.

CONT

SOPHIE also has a semantic parser that parses the student's typewritten words, not by using a grammar, but rather by using a semantic representation of possible phrases for each word that might be used in this domain.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Éducation permanente
CONT

Lorsque le parseur ne traite que des informations sémantiques, c'est un parseur sémantique.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Mathematics
CONT

The definition of a special internal language to represent informal reasoning and follow a sequence of arguments is somewhat similar to EXCHECK's treatment of proofs, although ACE's language is based on a grammar rather than on logical macro-operators. This gives the student more freedom of expression. The translation of her statements into the formal language is done with a semantic grammar, as defined by Burton and used in SOPHIE. The elements of the formal language that record the traces internally constitute the semantic categories to be looked for(such as facts, equations, and deductions), organized into successive arguments. In this case, the parser has the interesting ability to interact with the student when it encounters difficulties, asking for specific corrections until it can satisfy its expectations.
