ABSTRACT
This paper describes the use of the Direct Memory Access (DMA) paradigm in a practical natural language interface. Advantages and disadvantages of DMA in such applications are discussed. The DMA natural language interface 'DM-COMMAND' described in this paper is being used for development of a knowledge-based machine translation system at the Center for Machine Translation (CMT) at Carnegie Mellon University.

GLR parsing with multiple grammars for natural language queries
This article presents an approach for parsing natural language queries that integrates multiple subparsers and subgrammars, in contrast to the traditional single grammar and parser approach. In using LR(k) parsers for natural language processing, we are ...
