An Architecture for natural language dialog applications in data exploration and presentation domain

Abstract

In this paper we present architecture and its implementation for the natural language dialog (NLD) applications in data exploration and presentation domain. Presented architecture can be integrated as a part of corporate information delivery web portal to bring new modalities for user interfaces. The archi-tecture is based on software agent's paradigm and supports mobile as well as stationary agents. On this NLD architecture we implemented open source project for data exploration when the system user explores corporate data in the terms of machine human dialog. The following well know toolboxes has been integrated in this project: GATE - general architecture for natural language processing, IBM natural language understanding (NLU) toolbox, JOONE - neural network toolbox, Aglets - mobile agents framework.
