Title: Comprehension by computer : expectation-based analysis of sentences in context
Abstract: Abstract : ELI (English Language Interpreter) is a natural language parsing program currently used by several story understanding systems. ELI differs from most other parsers in that it: produces meaning representations (using Schank's Conceptual Dependency system) rather than syntactic structures; uses syntactic information only when the meaning can not be obtained directly; talks to other programs that make high level inferences that tie individual events into coherent episodes; uses context-based exceptions (conceptual and syntactic) to control its parsing routines. Examples of texts that ELI has understood, and details of how it works are given.
