| The DARPA Spoken Language community has just completed the first trial evaluation of spontaneous query/response pairs in the Air Travel (ATIS) domain. Our goal has been to find a methodology for evaluating correct responses to user queries. To this end, we agreed, for the first trial evaluation, to constrain the problem in several ways: Database Application: Constrain the application to a database query application, to ease the burden of a) ... |

| This paper presents the Unisys Spoken Language System, as applied to the Air Travel Planning (ATIS) domain. This domain provides a rich source of inter active dialog, and has been chosen as a common application task for the development and evaluation of spoken language understanding systerns.
