As the world’s store of knowledge increases, and knowledge-workers in contemporary organizations face the imperative of consulting that record, and contributing to it, in order to satisfy a diversity of users and uses, we need to find more efficient and effective ways of dealing with the vast volumes, and have strategies, processes, and systems for managing them. Hypertext technology is a good ...

Accessing massive multimedia databases will require multiple representations of those databases. Initial access may be through visual representations of the database. However, traversing numerous levels of tree-like structures will quickly find the user lost. Simple database queries may overwhelm users with information. To overcome these problems the Advanced Learning Technologies Project at Ca...

VIENA Classroom is a distance education system in which the teaching material is prepared as hypermedia documents and presented to the students within a CSCW environment. By means of a multimodal natural language interface the students can ask questions in plain Japanese which are answered by accessing a FAQ knowledge base. Linguistic analysis is performed in an integrated framework with the kn...

In this paper we present a natural language interface architecture, which is used for accessing FAQ knowledge bases. Since one of the main obstacles to the efficient use of natural language interfaces is the high amount of required manual knowledge engineering, we provide an adaptive architecture to automate the acquisition of linguistic knowledge. We apply a machine learning module based on an...
