NL-Soar is a computer system that performs language comprehension and generation within the framework of the Soar architecture [New90]. NL-Soar provides language capabilities for systems working in a real-time environment. Responding in real time to changing situations requires a flexible way to shift control between language and task operations. To provide this flexibility, NL-Soar organizes generation as a sequence of incremental steps that can be interleaved with task actions as the…

Reactive Natural Language Processing: Comprehension and Generation in the Air Combat Domain
TLDR
NL-Soar, a language comprehension and generation capability designed to provide integrated, real-time natural language processing for systems built within the Soar architecture, is introduced.
Architectures for Natural Language Generation: Problems and Perspectives
TLDR
Guided by the identification of major generation challenges viewed from the angles of knowledge-based systems and cognitive psychology, some new directions for future research are sketched.
Chart Generation Using Production Systems
TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to extend the range of implementation options available to the NLG practitioner by detailing the specific advantages and disadvantages of using production systems for NLG.
Cognitive Modeling Approaches to Language Comprehension Using Construction Grammar
TLDR
The relationship between modeling human sentence comprehension using cognitive architectures and approaches to linguistic knowledge representation using construction grammars is examined and the tradeoffs between alternative approaches to representing and accessing linguistic knowledge within a cognitive architecture are examined.
Behavior-based Language Generation for Believable Agents
TLDR
Hap, the behavior-based architecture for believable non-linguistic agents, is extended to better support natural language text generation, and these extensions allow the agent to tightly integrate generation with other aspects of the agent, including action, perception, inference and emotion.
A Gentle Introduction to Soar, an Architecture for Human Cognition.
Abstract : Many intellectual disciplines contribute to the field of cognitive science: psychology, linguistics, anthropology, and artificial intelligence, to name just a few. Cognitive science itself…
Comparing Agent Modeling For Language and Action
TLDR
It is shown how for discourse processing, it is possible to have the benefits of viewing agents in terms of their beliefs and intentions without sacrificing real-time performance and reactivity.
Personality-rich believable agents that use language
TLDR
Hap, the behavior-based architecture used by the Oz group to construct non-linguistic believable agents, is extended to support natural language text generation, to tightly integrate text generation with other aspects of the agent, including action, perception, inference and emotion.
Wishful: A Discourse Planning System That Considers a User's Inferences
TLDR
A discourse planner is described that takes into consideration a user's inferences during content planning and discourse organization and also to determine the suitability of the discourse produced by WISHFUL for different types of users.
Robots That Use Language
TLDR
This article surveys the use of natural language in robotics from a robotics point of view, where robots must map words to aspects of the physical world mediated by the robot's brain.
