AIC Program:  Representation and Reasoning

A query, expressed in unrestricted English, is parsed and transformed into a logical form by natural-language technology developed by PARC. That logical form is understood and transformed by automatic deduction machinery provided by SRI, which consults a biomedical ontology developed by the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research, and invokes the HIV database developed at Stanford’s Division of Infectious Diseases. Quadri will produce an English-language explanation of and justification for the answers it provides.
