Abstract
This document is the final report of CLARE, a project involving BP Research, British Aerospace, British Telecom, Cambridge University, SRI Cambridge and the UK Defence Research Agency. The project received a grant from the UK Department of Trade and Industry. The report mainly describes the research, design and implementation work carried out in building the CLARE system at SRI, with some discussion of experimentation with the software by the other partners. Low-level interfacing issues and a guide to using the system are covered in a manual provided with the final release of the software. The project also involved a study by Cambridge University Computer Laboratory on evaluating natural language processing systems. A digest of the report for this study appears at the end of the present report. CLARE was designed as a natural language processing system with facilities for reasoning and understanding in context and for generating cooperative responses. The work plan for the project required both further development of the Core Language Engine (CLE) natural language processor and the design and implementation of new components for reasoning and response generation. All the milestones set in the project plan were achieved, the final system including the following capabilities:
