sug15 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Alright, I have been trying to work on this but it has been difficult. I looked at the Python NLTK but I don't think that will be of much help. Let's say I have a database full of facts, and one of them is "highway - a main road". The user enters a question, let's say "What is a highway?". I want to be able to pull the the answer from the database and then form it into proper English. For example, in this case, I would like it to form "A highway is a main road". Let's say the user asks "what are highways. It should answer "Highways are main stretches of road". Then I could get into more complex sentences as I gather more data, for example "What is the average distance of a highway in the United States?" wouldn't just be giving a definition. Yes, I know this is pretty complex, but does anyone know where I could start? I have the basics, obviously - break up a sentence, interpret the words, try and figure out what tense it is in and if it's plural, then figuring out what it's asking, and then of course generating an answer. I don't have much of an idea how to do this, though. If anyone could give me an idea of where to start that would be great. Thanks a lot.
