Abstract

In this paper, we present an ontology-based utterance interpretation mechanism for intelligent conversational interfaces. We describe how this mechanism was embedded in a conversational interface applied to personal assistant agents. The main goal of such approach is to offer a system capable of performing tasks through an intuitive interface, allowing experienced and less experienced users to interact with it in an easy and comfortable way. In this mechanism, ontologies are used for syntactic and semantic interpretation. We present how to design an ontology for semantic interpretation and how the interpretation process use it for semantic analysis.
