Generic Natural Language Command Interpretation in Ontology-Based Dialogue Systems

This paper presents a general architecture towards a more generic approach to conversational agents. Our architecture contains generic (in sense of application independent) natural language (NL) modules that are based on ontologies for command interpretation. We focus on the presentation of the event generator and dialogue manager modules which rely on a bottom-up approach for matching the user's command with the set of currently possible actions
