Abstract :
The authors develop novel techniques (1) to retrieve efficiently a set of related knowledge using a hierarchical model of sentence meaning, and (2) to handle comprehensively frame-based representation using pattern matching in an object-oriented programming language. They discuss several features to cope with maintenance of the knowledge base and unknown words in users´ questions. An explanation is presented of LISP-PAL´s frame-based knowledge representation, its pattern-matching, and its system evaluation with testers.<>
