Domain-Independent Task Specification In The Tacitus Natural Language System
We have defined and implemented a schema specification and recognition language for the TACITUS natural language system. We give examples of the use of this schema language in a diagnostic…

Two Principles Of Parse Preference
Our aims in this paper is first to present a compendium of many of these heuristics and secondly to propose two principles that seem to underlie the heuristics.

Prosody, Syntax and Parsing
We describe the modification of a grammar to take advantage of prosodic information provided by a speech recognition system. This initial study is limited to the use of relative duration…
-
Backwards Phonology
This paper makes "reversibility" explicit and demonstrates by means of examples from Tunica and Klamath that two-level phonology does have certain desirable capabilities that are not found in grammars of…

Interpretation As Abduction
In the TACITUS project at SRI we have developed an approach to abductive inference, called "weighted abduction," that has resulted in a significant simplification of how the problem of interpreting…

Decision-Making In An Embedded Reasoning System
This paper describes some of the features of a Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) that enables it to operate effectively in such environments.

A Centralized Approach for Representing and Resolving Interactions Among Multi-agent Tasks while Planning Hierarchically
The advantages of hierarchical planning for construction projects and the difficulties associated with implementing hierarchical planning systems using artificial intelligence techniques are described.
-
Weighted Abduction For Plan Ascription
We describe an approach to abductive reasoning called weighted abduction, which uses inference weights to compare competing explanations for observed behavior. We present an algorithm for computing a weighted-abductive explanation,…

Discovery Learning And Transfer Of Problem Solving Skills
A framework for understanding the effects of discovery learning on the transfer of problem-solving skill is presented.

Real-Time Reasoning: The Monitoring and Control Of Spacecraft Systems
This paper describes research concerned with automating the monitoring and control of spacecraft systems. In particular, the paper examines the application of SRI’s Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) to the handling…
