摘要: Abstract This article describes TEAM, a transportable natural-language interface system. TEAM was constructed to test the feasibility of building system that could be adapted with new databases by users who are not experts in processing. An overview design is presented, emphasizing those choices were imposed demands transportability. Several general problems processing faced constructing discussed, including quantifier scoping, various pragmatic issues, and verb acquisition. compared several other systems; this comparison includes discussion range natural language handled each as well description approach taken achieving transportability
