Abstract
This paper proposes a domain-independent approach to constructing natural language interfaces for applications. Domain independence provides generality to natural language interfaces. A hierarchical structure for natural language processing and a representation language, the Intermediate Carrier Language, are introduced. A special phase of natural language processing called domain compiling is also proposed and described. To assess and improve this approach, an experimental natural language interface KZ2/TZJ has been developed. This serves as the common Chinese interface for both Unix and Vi. Unix and Vi were chosen as KZ2/TZJ's applications because they belong to different kinds of application categories and using them may give a fair evaluation of the approach. Experimental results indicate that this approach is a good candidate for developing general natural language interfaces.
