|
| The rapid retrieval of experimental data has long been a difficult problem concerning scientists and engineers. Chemists at the AFWL Radiobiology Facility, in particular, were confronted with large amounts of grouped data from sheep radiation experiments. To solve their data retrieval problem, a computer code called FARM (Fast Access Retrieval Multiprogram) was written for the CDC 6600. The grouped structure of the data led to the development of a linking ... |

| A major problem is to provide for automatic recognition of sameness of meaning in spite of structural differences so that when a request for factual information is processed, any of the possible paraphrases of an answer will be retrieved from a natural language text. The RAND parsing grammar has been extended and refined so that identical labels are attached to comparable elements of structurally different paraphrases, such as the active-passive ... |
