17:30-18:00 A Prototype for Helping Hypothesis-making Activities using LFG and XML, Takeshi YOSHIOKA, Hiroshi MASUICHI, Tomoko OHKUMA, Kazuto HAYASHI, Naoki HAYASHI, Daigo SUGIHARA & Hiroki YOSHIMURA (Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.)
We introduce a prototype for helping hypothesis-making activities using LFG(Lexical Functional Grammar) and XML. The prototype analyzes natural language text, and adds two levels of semantic annotations as XML documents, and connects applications via the XML documents. The prototype consists of three main applications:　(1)CaseFrameAnalyzer, which views the document spaces from semantic points of view, (2)LFG Semantic Analyzer, which is a question answering system using natural language and syntactic structure, and　(3)Gofu, which supports hypothesis-making from activity point of view. We explain a scenario for proposing a solution of a sales person with corporation of the applications above.

This workshop was financially made possible in part by a KOSEF-JSPS joint partnership grant for a Contrastive Study of Syntax and Semantics between Korean and Japanese and Feasibility of Porting and Cross-Development of Grammars between LFG/XLE and HPSG/LKB Frameworks.
