Subject: Query: NLmenu
X-Mailer: LeeMail 1.2.4
I am looking for pointers to Computational Linguistics literature that
discusses the NLmenu (at least, I think this is the name) NL interface
developed by Tennant around 1983 and other interfaces subsequently devised
along the NLmenu approach (the interface, as I recall, was based on a
syntax-driven editor for NL).
Any information would be appreciated. FS

CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION
AAAI SPRING SYMPOSIUM SERIES
MARCH 23-25, 1992
STANFORD UNIVERSITY
STANFORD, CA
Symposium on
REASONING ABOUT MENTAL STATES:
FORMAL THEORIES AND APPLICATIONS
1. Description of the symposium
Researchers in AI often reason informally in a way that involves
attributing a variety of mental states to machines, and often design
systems that must be able to reason both about their own mental states and
those of others. This kind of reasoning is common in a number of areas,
including cooperative interfaces for databases, database security,
planning, tutoring, and especially multi-agent coordination.
Until recently, most formal work on mental states within AI has
concentrated only on a related pair of notions---knowledge and belief. In
the past few years, however, an increasing reliance on a wide variety of
mentalistic notions in the design and understanding of actual systems has
led to a broadening of this formal work. As a result, there now exist
within AI formal theories of a number of mentalistic notions and their
close relatives, including: ability, action, choice, commitment, desire,
intention, goals, obligation, perception.
The aim of this symposium is to bring together researchers working
on formalisms for reasoning about these mentalistic notions, and also
researchers involved in the design of systems that rely upon or incorporate
these notions. We do not wish to exclude innovative work on knowledge and
belief, especially if it concerns connections with other mental states, but
do explicitly want to emphasize a wider variety of mental states. We would
expect papers on topics such as the following:
** Descriptions of systems, architectures, or theories that rely
explicitly upon reasoning with mentalistic notions (e.g., BDI-style
planning architectures, multi-agent planners, models of discourse and
speech acts);
** Formalisms for reasoning about particular mentalistic notions within
particular frameworks (e.g., a dynamic logic for reasoning about intention)
and comparisons between frameworks (e.g., between representations of action
in dynamic and temporal logics), or for reasoning about a number of these
notions and their interactions (e.g., a logic for reasoning about
intention, belief, obligation, and action);
** Formalisms for multi-agent mentalistic reasoning and coordination
(e.g., reasoning about the beliefs of one agent concerning the intentions
and beliefs of another);
** Realistic (non-idealized) models of these various mental states;
** Issues involving the interaction between these various mentalistic
notions and time (e.g., the temporal persistence of commitment);
** Issues concerning the computational relevance of sophisticated
philosophical theories of mental states, and perhaps also concerning the
relevance of the recent, detailed models developed within AI for
philosophical theorizing.
We hope that the symposium will help to focus research on the
development of precise theories for reasoning about a variety of mental
states, and also that it can serve as a forum for interaction between those
working in other areas whose research relies upon these theories and those
concerned primarily with the logic of the matter.
2. Submission and attendance information
Those wishing to present their work for discussion at the symposium
should submit five physical copies of an extended abstract, no more than
six pages in length. (Authors whose work is accepted for presentation will
later be asked for a full paper to be included in the symposium
proceedings.)
Those wishing to attend the symposium without presenting work
should submit a one page statement of their (relevant) research interests.
All submissions and requests for attendance should be sent to
arrive by **NOVEMBER 2, 1992** at the following address:

EWCBR-93 - Call for Papers
First European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning
1-5 November 1993
Kaiserslautern, Germany
===============================================================================
organized by: GI
in cooperation with: ECCAI (pending), ACM German Chapter, DFKI, SFB 314
General Information:
Case-Based Reasoning is a topic which becomes more and more important
and has raised considerable interest recently. Its various aspects
have been elaborated from the theoretical as well as from the
practical side. It supports knowledge acquisition and problem solving,
and it is related to key words like machine learning, analogy,
cognitive modeling, similarity, information retrieval, statistics
among others. Although case-based reasoning has a well defined place
within AI-related conferences, we feel that the topic deserves a
workshop on its own also in Europe, as there have been such events in
US.
Programme:
The scientific programme will include the presentation of selected
papers, several invited talks, system demonstrations, as well as
poster and panel sessions. Tutorials are planned for the first day.
Submission of Papers:
Submissions are invited on research covering all aspects of case-based
reasoning including (but not restricted to)
- theoretical analysis of similarity assessment
- adaptation strategies
- combination of case-based and other approaches
- cognitive modeling
- case-based learning
- relations between inductive and case-based learning/reasoning
- case-based knowledge engineering
- analogical reasoning
- relations between case-based reasoning and other approaches
- evaluation of case-based approaches
- demonstration of implemented systems
- applications of case-based reasoning
Please, contribute an extended abstract to one of the following categories:
- theoretical results
- practical/empirical results
- work in progress (posters)
- system descriptions (includes a demonstration at the workshop)
Submissions should be made in five copies to the programme chairman.
Important Dates:
Submission deadline: 30 April 1993
Notification of acceptance/rejection: 30 June 1993
Camera-ready-copy: 31 July 1993
Preprints and Proceedings:
Accepted extended abstracts will be distributed as preprints at the workshop.
Authors of accepted extended abstracts are invited to submit a long paper
(about 15 pages) based on this. Accepted long papers are published within the
proceedings which will be made available after the workshop.
