A connectionist model for dialog processing

A novel connectionist system for dialog processing is described. Based on a script-like formalism, the system consists of several modular neural networks which can track the semantic flow of a dialog. The system can be extended to understand and translate dialogs in a certain domain.<<ETX>>
