Abstract :
A natural language processor (NLP) for a multimodal, multilingual computer interface is presented. This NLP or Natural Language Processor with Neural Networks (NALPRONN) demonstrates that artificial neural networks can be used in such systems. NALPRONN implements a generalized NLP system that emphasizes the modularity, adaptability, and flexibility properties that are used in a number of computer applications. It processes information for different application language subsets and redirects information to a specific active application. NALPRONN has processing modules which are backpropagation networks, and memory modules which are self organized feature map networks. Additional networks can be added for further processing tasks. The processing modules are the input subsystem and the output subsystem, and the memory modules are the lexicon subsystem and the monitor subsystem
