Abstract
Abstract We describe an interface to a crop model that uses techniques from natural language interpretation work. A graphical user interface (GUI) and a conventional command language each has its own limitations in terms of expressive power. Our restricted natural language interface (NLI) has some of the advantages of real natural language, such as familiarity of medium and tolerance of the user's manner of expression, together with some of the advantages of the GUI. Behind the interface itself, inferences are made with respect to the model, including query validity checking and disambiguation. In this paper we consider relevant prior research, before describing the project aims and details of the interface. We conclude with a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the approach taken, and how it could be improved.
