Synopsis

This book, proposing a new approach, details a framework for designing a "question-answering system" that can answer questions from a corporate database. The author begins by summarizing the history of such systems, noting the field's early focus on natural language understanding and the limitations of these early efforts. The author then presents their own approach, which emphasizes knowledge-based techniques and the use of a powerful data model. The author concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of their work, arguing that question-answering systems can play a major role in improving decision-making within organizations.
