The systems developed, however, were very inflexible as the reuse was primarily based on simple stra- tegies of generalization via variablization and later unifi- cation. We propose an approach for flexible reuse of old plans in the presence of a generative planner. In our approach the planner leaves information relevant to the reuse process in the form of annotations on every generated plan. To reuse an old plan in solving a new problem, the old plan along with its annotations is mapped into the new problem. A process of annotation verification is used to locate applicability failures and suggest refitting stra- tegies. The planner is then called upon to carry out the suggested modifications-to produce an executable plan for the new problem. This integrated approach obviates the need for any extra domain knowledge (other than that already known to the planner) during reuse and thus affords a rela- tively domain independent framework for plan reuse. We will describe the realization of this approach in two disparate domains (blocks world and process planning for automated manufacturing) and propose extensions to the reuse frame- work to overcome observed limitations. We believe that our approach for plan reuse can be profitably employed by gen- erative planners in many applied domains. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 May 88 09:35:08 From: "ERIC Y.H.

(UNISYS) AI SEMINAR UNISYS PAOLI RESEARCH CENTER Defining the Semantics of Verbal Modifiers in the Domain of Cooking Tasks Robin F. Karlin Computer and Information Science University of Pennsylvania SEAFACT (Semantic Analysis For the Animation of Cooking Tasks) is a natural language interface to a computer-generated animation system operating in the domain of cooking tasks. SEAFACT allows the user to specify cooking tasks using a small subset of English. The system analyzes English input and produces a representation of the task which can drive motion synthesis procedures. This talk describes the semantic analysis of verbal modifiers on which the SEAFACT implementation is based. 2:00 pm Tuesday, May 19 Paoli Auditorium Unisys Paoli Research Center Route 252 and Central Ave. Paoli PA 19311 -- non-Unisys visitors who are interested in attending should -- -- send email to finin@prc.unisys.com or call 215-648-7446 -- ------------------------------ Date: 11 May 88 21:30:34 GMT From: rochester!ur-tut!sunybcs!rapaport@cu-arpa.cs.cornell.edu Subject: ACL-88 program & registration CLARIFICATION ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS 26th Annual Meeting 7-10 June 1988 Knox 20, State University of New York at Buffalo (Amherst Campus) Buffalo, New York, USA PROGRAM MONDAY EVENING, 6 JUNE 7:00 9:00 Tutorial Registration and Reception Rathskeller, Norton Hall TUESDAY MORNING, 7 JUNE 9:00 12:15 Tutorial Sessions CONTEMPORARY SYNTACTIC THEORIES Peter Sells TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEMS Martha Palmer, Lynette Hirschman, and Deborah Dahl TUESDAY AFTERNOON, 7 JUNE 1:45-5:00 Tutorial Sessions NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION David McDonald EFFICIENT PARSING ALGORITHMS Masaru Tomita TUESDAY EVENING, 7 JUNE 7:00-9:00 Conference Registration and Reception Rathskeller, Norton Hall REGISTRATION: Wednesday - Friday 8:00-5:00 Rathskeller, Norton Hall; until noon Friday EXHIBITS: Wednesday Friday 9:00-6:00 Rathskeller, Norton Hall WEDNESDAY MORNING, 8 JUNE 9:00-9:15 Opening remarks and announcements 9:15-9:45 Adapting an English Morphological Analyzer for French Roy J.

I will try to explain the linguistic motivations for the proposals I will discuss, and also convergences among the theories. Little in the way of background will be assumed, beyond a rudimentary knowledge of phrase structure grammars and basic transformational mechanisms (movement, deletion, etc.). TEXT PROCESSING SYSTEMS Martha Palmer, Lynette Hirschman, and Deborah Dahl, Paoli Research Center, Unisys Defense Systems This tutorial will cover issues in text processing, focusing on the current state-of-the-art in text processing, the applications of text processing, the architecture of a text-processing system (using the Unisys PUNDIT system as an example), issues of portability and extensibility, and issues relating to large-scale computational linguistics projects. The section on system architecture will describe a modular architecture, with components that handle syntax, semantics and pragmatics, emphasizing the importance of segregating domain-specific and domain-independent data. We will then discuss, in the context of recent experiences with the PUNDIT system, the issue of portability across domains and the tools that support bringing up an application in a new domain. We will also look at the problems associated with building a large natural language processing system: how to integrate people with a variety of backgrounds (computer science, linguistics), how to manage and maintain a large system, and how to do development in multiple domains simultaneously. We will conclude with a survey of text-processing systems, comparing their strengths and weaknesses as related to their particular goals. NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION David McDonald, Brattle Research Corporation This tutorial will take participants through the workings of a complete, albeit very simple, generation system from the underlying conceptual representation to the surface morphology. This mini-system, which uses a ``direct replacement'' algorithm, would be quite satisfactory for the demands of most present expert systems; its weaknesses will be used to motivate the research that is going on in generation today. The major themes of that research will be surveyed, concentrating on the rationales behind the adoption of specific frameworks, such as systemic, unification, or tree adjoining grammar. Illustrations will be taken from current and historically important systems. Emphasis will be on generation as a planning and construction process which has markedly different concerns and issues from language understanding, and on how this has led to the approaches generation researchers are taking today. Efficient Parsing Algorithms Masaru Tomita, Carnegie-Mellon University Parsing efficiency is crucial when building practical natural language systems. This is especially the case for interactive applications such as natural language database access, interfaces to expert systems and interactive machine translation. This tutorial covers several efficient context-free parsing algorithms, including chart parsing, Earley's algorithm, LR parsing and the generalized LR algorithm. Augmentation to the context-free parsing algorithms is also discussed, to handle unification-based grammar formalisms such as Lexical-Functional Grammar, Functional Unification Grammar, and Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar. 11-May-1988 21:42:04-EST,7641;000000000001 The printed version of the program and registration information has been mailed to ACL members.

The number of research teams in MT has grown significantly over the past five years, and correspondingly, the rate of progress, measured both in the scientific output and the technological innovation has become increasingly steep. The requirements for information exchange in the field have grown accordingly. The conference is aimed at fulfilling that requirement for information exchange. *** Topics of the Conference *** The conference will cover a wide set of interrelated topics in machine translation including: parsing, generation, computational lexicons, multiple approaches to translation (knowledge-based, interactive, post and pre-editing, etc...), theoretical and comparative analysis, case studies, computational tools for the system developer or translator, and new algorithms and architectures for natural language processing. *** Center for Machine Translation *** The Center for Machine Translation was established at Carnegie Mellon University in July 1986. The center is dedicated to the development of a new generation of machine translation systems with capabilities ranging far beyond the current technology. Current research initiatives include: knowledge-based machine translation, knowledge representation and acquisition, unification algorithms, multilingual parsing algorithms, fluent text generation and development of computational lexicons, grammars and knowledge bases. *** Conference Program and Schedule *** Saturday, June 11 Participants arrive in Pittsburgh Sunday, June 12 --- General Session --- 8:30 am Registration/Coffee & Donuts 8:50 am Welcome --- Session 1: Issues in Analysis I --- 9:00 am "Meaning Understanding in Machine Translation" Hirosato Nomura, Kyushu Institute of Technology (Japan) 9:30 am "Coordination: Some Problems and Solutions for Parsing English with an ATN" Lee Ann Schwartz, Pan American Health Organization (United States) 10:00 am "A Method of Analyzing Japanese Speech Act Types" Kiyoshi Kogure, Hitoshi Iida, Kei Yoshimoto, Hiroyuki Maeda, Masako Kume, Susumu Kato, ATR (Japan) 10:30 am COFFEE --- Session 2: Issues in Generation --- 11:00 am "On Lexical Selection in MT Generation" Sergei Nirenburg, Rita McCardell, Eric Nyberg, Scott Huffman, Edward Kenschaft, Irene Nirenburg, Carnegie Mellon University (United States) 11:30 am "Natural Language Generation using the Meaning Text Model" Richard Kittredge, A.
