Abstract

This paper describes a natural language interface developed for an expert system, Page-X. The interface accepts English descriptions of observed symptoms and maps those descriptions to hypotheses used as initial input to the Page-X diagnosis system. The interface describes an application-independent linguistic interface and an application-specific hypothesis identification component.
