● Find out all you can about natural language interfaces. Are there any successful
systems? For what applications are these most appropriate?
○ Natural-language UI (LUI or NLUI) is a sort of PC human interface where
semantic wonders, for example, action words, expressions and statements go
about as UI controls for making, choosing and adjusting information in
programming applications.
In interface structure, natural-language interfaces are looked for after for
their speed and convenience, yet most endure the difficulties to seeing wide
assortments of uncertain input.Natural-language interfaces are a functioning
zone of concentrate in the field of normal language handling and computational
etymology. An instinctive general normal language interface is one of the
dynamic objectives of the Semantic Web.
Content interfaces are "normal" to fluctuating degrees. Numerous formal
(un-normal) programming dialects consolidate figures of speech of common
human language. In like manner, a customary catchphrase internet searcher
could be depicted as a "shallow" regular language UI. The natural language is
mainly used in AI technology.

Successful systems that uses natural language interfaces

○ SHRDLU​, a natural-language interface that manipulates blocks in a virtual
"blocks world"
○ Lunar​, a natural-language interface to a database containing chemical analyses
of Apollo-11 moon rocks by William A. Woods.
○ Chat-80 transformed English questions into Prolog expressions, which were
evaluated against the Prolog database. The code of Chat-80 was circulated
widely, and formed the basis of several other experimental Nl interfaces. An
online demo is available on the LPA website.
○ ELIZA​, written at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum between 1964 and 1966,
mimicked a psychotherapist and was operated by processing users' responses to
scripts. Using almost no information about human thought or emotion, the
○ DOCTOR script sometimes provided a startlingly human-like interaction. An
online demo is available on the LPA website.[4][dead link]
○ Janus​ is also one of the few systems to support temporal questions.
Intellect from Trinzic (formed by the merger of AICorp and Aion).
○ BBN’s Parlance built on experience from the development of the Rus and Irus
systems.
○ IBM​ Language access
○ Q&A ​from Symantec.
○ Datatalker​ from Natural Language Inc.
○ Loqui​ from BIM Systems.
○ English Wizard ​from Linguistic Technology Corporation.
○ iAskWeb from Anserity Inc. fully implemented in Prolog was providing interactive
recommendations in NL to users in tax and investment domains in 1999-2001
