Class Participation |
The project for the course
is to write a simple English-language understanding system for a domain
of your choice. The system should be an interface to a simple database,
or be able to understand a simple story and answer questions about it.
You will work in Prolog.
We will provide some software and tools for you to build with. Examples
of possible conversations with some of these are shown here.
