Abstract

The topic of BIDIRECTIONALITY, using common knowledge in language processing for both analysis and generation, is of both practical and theoretical concern. Theoretically, it is important to determine what knowledge structures can be applied to both. Practically, it is important that a competent natural language system be able to generate outputs that are relevant to the inputs it understands, without excessive redundancy. This problem revolves around the ability to relate linguistic structures declaratively to their meaning.
