Sinopsis

This book, proposing a new approach, details a framework for designing a "question-answering system" that can answer questions from a corporate database. The author begins by summarizing the history of such systems, noting the field's early focus on natural language understanding and the limitations of these early efforts. The author then presents their own approach, which emphasizes knowledge-based techniques and the use of a powerful data model. The author concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of their work, arguing that question-answering systems can play a major role in improving decision-making within organizations.

Excerpt from Control Structure for a Question-Ansering System

Despite my best efforts at explanation, my grandmother still thinks of the computer as a machine that answers questions. To her, this is a manifestation of intelligence far more powerful than doing "sums"; for while everybody answers questions, few can do sums! It is not surprising to me, therefore, that question-answering systems have as long a history in artificial intelligence as problem solving.

This paper describes the design of a proposed question-answering system that will answer questions from a corporate data base. We will discuss the rationale behind the proposed system and the design decisions that follow from the initial assumptions. Further, we will discuss the question-answering strategies developed for this system and the basic principles underlying them.

Early Question-Answering Systems
