Programmable Adaptive Transducers and their Application in the Development of Dialog Agents
Formal and natural languages, Addaptative transfducers, automata, controled natural languages
This research proposal presents the Programmable Adaptive Transducer as a device used to construct a Dialog Agent through the transformation of sentences belonging to the natural language into code executable by a real or hypothetical machine. The transducer uses the adaptive paradigm, so that the recognized language in the input can be modified from the standard sentences of the language itself. First, a brief description of the concepts of formal and natural language processing will be presented. In this point will be presented concepts as automata, transducers, chatterbots and agents of conversation. The programmable adaptive transducer will then be displayed. In the justification of this work will be treated how the presented device can be used to transform a sentence into executable code for a stack-based virtual machine capable of performing actions compatible with the semantic meaning of the input sentence. Finally, the objective of this work proposal will be presented, the methodology to be used, the implementation schedule and the references used.
