Dialogue system grammars using GF resource.

+ +AR 16/5/2006 + + +

Functionality and purpose

+Dialogue system abstract syntax + concrete syntaxes for +different languages. One of them is Prolog (with some resemblance to +dialogue moves in GoDiS). +

+The purpose is to show how new systems can be built for new domains just +by specifying just two things: +

a domain ontology in abstract syntax +
a domain terminologies in concrete syntaxes +

+ +

+This is based on two library elements +

base dialogue grammars +
resource grammar libraries +

+ +

+In general, the only kind of elements that need to be added are +constants (0-place fun's) of the following categories from Dialogue.gf. +

+    Kind ;             -- e.g. Room
+    Object Kind ;      -- e.g. Kitchen
+    Oper0 ;            -- e.g. Stop
+    Oper1 Kind ;       -- e.g. Play
+    Oper2 Kind Kind ;  -- e.g. Add
+    Move ;             -- e.g. MorningMode
+

Files in this directory

+Files (for X = Eng, Fin, Fre, Prolog, Swe): +

+Files provided as library to build on: +

+    Dialogue.gf   -- base dialogue grammar
+    DialogueX.gf  -- implementation instance
+    DialogueI.gf  -- implementation functor
+  
+    ResProlog.gf  -- help constructs for Prolog terms
+  
+    Weekday.gf    -- untility grammar with weekdays
+    WeekdayX.gf
+  
+    AuxDialogue.gf-- interface of auxiliary resource-defined opers
+    AuxX.gf       -- instances for different languages
+

+Files implementing two examples. +

+    Agenda.gf     -- application grammar for agenda
+    AgendaX.gf
+  
+    Lights.gf     -- application grammar for lights
+    Lights.gf
+

Files needed to build a new application

+To build a new application for domain Dom, you thus need +

+    Dom.gf        -- introduce fun's in Kind, Object, Oper0, Oper1, Oper2
+    DomX.gf       -- concrete syntax of the new fun's for language X
+

Some tests

+You first need to do, with the latest resource grammar version, +

make present in lib/resource-1.0 +
+To test an application in GF, do e.g. +
make lights to make a package with all the Lights grammars +
make engcorpus to generate an English corpus +
make swecorpus to generate a Swedish corpus +

+ +

+Here are some other commands: +

i LightsEng.gf in current dir, to load a grammar +
gr | l -all to random-generate +
gt -depth=4 | pt -transform=typecheck | l -all to generate a corpus +
p "switch off all lights in the kitchen" to parse +
i LightsProlog.gf to load the Prolog version +
pg -printer=gsl -startcat=Move to print a Nuance grammar +
p -lang=LightsEng "switch off all lights" | pt -transform=solve | l -lang=LightsProlog +to translate from English to Prolog +
si -tr -lang=LightsEng | p -cat=Move -lang=LightsEng | pt -transform=solve | l -lang=LightsProlog +to translate English speech into Prolog +

+ +

+The last one is the coolest - but you may need to enable the speech_input command by installing ATK +and recompiling GF. +
