Natural language as programming paradigm in data exploration domain

Abstract

In this paper we present the progress of the natural language usage as the programming paradigm for information extraction in distributed database environments. Personal assistants form an environment where distributed knowledge is explored with the JMining interlingua language to support communication between the mobile agents, natural language queries and the mobile agents working environment servers. The Aglets framework is used to build mobile agents and test conceptual designs for information gathering. The implementation of the prototypes using the aglet framework shows that even with the state of the art natural language technologies the applications development is achievable only on the narrow domain and with the small interlingua language design. Presented architecture can be integrated as a part of a corporate information delivery Web portal to bring new modalities for user interfaces with the possibility to share locally stored knowledge bases.
