Inputting and editing system in a knowledge based inquiry and answer system

摘要

The present invention discloses an inputting system for an inquiry-and-answer which removes the necessiates for strict analysis of the meaning of a response to an inquiry in order to extract necessary facts for inferences. By considering the response by an operator along with its corresponding inquiry from the system, the inputting system is enabled to editing the knowledge data base in a much easier fashion than the prior art. The inputting and editing system analyzes the answer to an interrogative and matches the pronouns and other elements of the answer with their corresponding elements from the interrogative so that the operator does not have to answer the interrogative with the exact language of the interrogative for the system to understand and utilize the answer properly.
