It is commonly required that these agents should employ natural language to communicate with humans. Natural language processing is, however, a complex and difficult task for agent designers. Authors propose a new framework that significantly reduces the complexity of building such interfaces. It relies on the concepts of application-specific controlled natural languages, a guided user interface, and a conceptual model of the interface functions that allows the automatic generation of controlled language.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Authors present a method to query databases and document storage systems using natural languages. Based on this method a prototype application was developed that provides a Web-based natural language query interface to a database of Hungarian nouns and their semantic arguments. The basis of the method is a controlled natural language query, the prototype system utilizes Artificial Intelligence, {XML} and Web technologies to implement it in the selected application field. To provide an efficient and easy access to electronically stored information is a complex task for computer science that became everyone\&rsquo;s problem by the dawn of the World Wide Web. The most commonly used techniques for this task were developed in library science and belong to the field of information retrieval. These methods use only a shallow understanding of the stored information and are not capable of solving the task efficiently. Due to this more and more emphasis is put on developing methods for storage and retrieval that are based on the deeper semantic understanding of the texts {(W3C} Semantic Web, new query languages, etc.). These methods, however, are still under development and in some areas even the proper theoretical results are missing. At the Department of Measurement and Information Systems {(Budapest} University of Technology and Economics) authors analyzed the general characteristics of information retrieval tasks and systems, and developed new methods to enhance their effectiveness. They also investigated the possible application of Artificial Intelligence techniques in this field, namely natural language understanding and the application of ontologies. The goal was to incorporate these methods in information retrieval systems in a way that they increase the effectiveness of these systems, simplify their user interfaces, but don\&rsquo;t affect their performance and usability. The main idea of the presented system is the application of so-called controlled natural languages during the query. This method is based on natural language techniques, but it simplifies their task \&ndash; and allows their successful application in the targeted systems \&ndash; by putting constraints on the natural language their process. A controlled language can be more easily processed by computers, the disambiguation is simpler task this way, and the query can be easily translated into machine-readable form (into {SQL} in our case). On the other hand this method allows the end user to present the query using natural language making thus the application of complex and not-well-understood web forms obsolete. In the full paper authors present the technical details of the Web system, and they also elaborate the characteristics of controlled natural language queries. The presented system provides a natural language query interface to a Hungarian noun and semantic arguments database created at the {ELTE} Humanities Faculty, which is also discussed in detail.</p>},

	abstract = {In the past decade the Internet became the leading information delivery medium, because it is, in principle, easily and continuously accessible for everyone. However, it is difficult to find the required document in the huge, heterogeneous and distributed network. It is even more complicated to extract the information by browsing and analyzing several sources. Numerous software systems appeared in the past years to support the automated information retrieval processes. These applications use several useful information and knowledge retrieval techniques. Nevertheless these methods appear only partly in some of the provided services, the core services of the systems do not provide real knowledge representation methods. Our aim is to design and develop a complete information and knowledge management system that applies integrated state-of-the-art knowledge intensive techniques. This research is a part of the {IKF} project at the Department of Measurement and Information Systems of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics {(BUTE).} The main goal of the project is to analyze, design and implement a new intelligent knowledge-warehousing environment, allowing advanced knowledge management and decision support. The development is targeted towards specific financial application domain. In this paper authors intend to provide a short review of the knowledge-based information retrieval and extraction, and knowledge presentation technologies through the brief discussion of the project and the realized application. First, we present the architecture and the main features of the complete knowledge-based retrieval system. Then we discuss two major subjects in more detail: the document retrieval and information extraction system, and the ontology-based knowledge management services. We also introduce some related theoretical backgrounds briefly, like structured information extraction with web wrappers, {XML,} and conceptualization with ontologies. Besides theory, we show some experimental result of the realized software systems.},

	abstract = {The authors present a general architecture for a domain and language specific application for the concise storage and presentation of the information retrieved from a wide spectrum of web-based information sources. The proposed architecture was influenced by particular challenges of knowledge intensive domain, gathering relevant documents from the internet, mining the knowledge content of unstructured textual information, demands for context driven, multi-faceted, up-to-date query and presentation of required information, furthermore by intricacies of the Hungarian language, calling for special solutions to a number of linguistic problems. The proposed system is developed in the framework of the Information and Knowledge Fusion international {EUREKA} project, that globally aims at the design and implementation of new intelligent knowledge warehousing environments, which would allow advanced knowledge management in various application domains [1]. The Hungarian {IKF} project {(IKF-H)} concentrates on developing a financial advisory application that transforms data from heterogeneous and unstructured Hungarian language information sources into an integrated internal knowledge repository. This repository would serve as a decision support system for Hungarian banks and revenue services. In order to surpass the performance of a typical information retrieval system, the process of a human information retrieval is being studied and {\textendash} at least partially {\textendash} followed. Even the shallowest analysis of the human performance shows that its advantage consists mainly of (1) the use of linguistic competence and (2) the benefits of background knowledge. Since linguistic techniques are rapidly being added to implemented information retrieval systems, the construction of mapping and incorporation of background knowledge becomes the biggest challenge. A suitable and efficient solution for representing part of the (human{\textquoteright}s) background knowledge is the use of ontologies [2]. One of the main goals of the {IKF} information retrieval system is to create a well-defined ontology that can be integrated with several document analysis techniques (indexing and searching, linguistic parser, etc.) to increase the performance of the whole information retrieval and extraction process. Another way to utilize useful background knowledge in the retrieval system is to model some aspects of the searching and extraction mechanism of a human. The proposed system contains an autonomous document retrieval and analyzer subsystem that involves efficient document searching and information extraction techniques with a source model based approach [3]. In the framework of the Hungarian {IKF} project, a prototype system is under development in order to implement our ideas in a real-world application.},

In this paper, we describe an information retrieval language in which the formalized domain knowledge and the attached textual information can be accessed in an integrated fashion and can be used to define various retrieval schemes and relevance measures. This language on the one hand provides maximum flexibility for knowledge engineers to exploit the available annotated domain model as contextual information. On the other hand, it allows the definition of complex, high-level queries, in which the contextual use of the annotated domain model can be optimized for clinical situations. We compare the performance of the standard and the proposed query language in the ovarian cancer domain.},

For this purpose, we followed a particular annotation method for Bayesian networks using a dedicated representation. In this paper, we present the resulting annotated Bayesian network {(ABN)} representation that consists of a regular Bayesian network, with standard probabilistic semantics, and a corresponding semantic network, to which textual information sources are attached. We demonstrate the applicability of such a dual model to represent both the rigorous probabilistic and the unconstrained textual medical knowledge. We describe methods on how these {ABN} models can be used: (1) as a domain model to arrange the personal textual information of a clinician according to the semantics of the domain, (2) in decision support to provide detailed (and even personalized) explanation, and (3) to enhance the information retrieval to find new textual information more efficiently},
