Abstract
Nowadays, natural language interfaces (NLIs) show strong demands on various smart devices from wearable devices, cell phones, televisions, to vehicles. Domain adaptation becomes one of the major challenging issues to support the applications on different domains. In this paper, we propose a framework of domain-adaptable NLIs to integrate linguistic knowledge and world knowledge. Given a knowledge base of a target domain and the function definition of a target smart device, the corresponding NLI system is developed under the framework. In the experiments, we demonstrate a Chinese NLI system for a video on demand (VOD) service.
