Abstract

BBN's project in Knowledge Representation for Natural Language Understanding is developing techniques for computer assistance to a decision maker who is collecting information about and making choices in a complex situation. In particular, we are designing a system for natural language control of an intelligent graphics display. This system is intended for use in situation assessment and information management. We believe that the decision maker needs an extremely flexible system, capable of manipulating large amounts of data and presenting it on a graphical display in a variety of ways until he feels satisfied that he has a grasp of his situation.
