The Actionary system currently has a module called NL2PAR that translates from Natural Language utterances to the PAR representation. This module alone is inadequate to provide the transition from interpreting an NL utterance and taking action.
Additional effort is required to understand the utterance and decide on a course of action.
The Actionary Planning project will enhance this interface by taking the utterance interpretation as input to a planning system that will generate PAR actions. The existing NL2PAR system directly translates from NL to the PAR representation. Actionary The existing Actionary stores action descriptions associated with lexical items. There are two kinds of PARs in the Actionary, those that are complete UPARs available for instantiation, and PAR schemas that are underspecified UPARs. The NL2PAR accesses UPARs and PAR schemas to construct goals.
