00100 APPENDIX I
00200
00300 A diagnostic psychiatric interview illustrating some of the model's
00400 linguistic capabilities. I = interviewer , P = Parry. Annotations
00500 appear in parentheses.
00600
00700
00800 I - GOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS DR JONES.
00900 P - HELLO.
01000
01100 (PARRY2 recognizes most of the common idiomatic greetings.
01200 Both ideas in the doctor's statement are recognized and one
01300 is chosen by the response functions to be answered.
01400
01500 I - WHATS YOURS ?
01600 P - PAT SMITH.
01700
01800 ("Yours" is correctly understood to mean "your name".)
01900
02000 I - ARE YOU A MAN OR A WOMAN ?
02100 P - I'M A MAN.
02200
02300 I -HOW OLD ARE YOU ?
02400 P -TWENTY-EIGHT, HOW OLD ARE YOU?
02500
02600 (This is another easy, and stereotyped, question. The answer
02700 includes a probe for information about the doctor to allow
02800 PARRY2 to build up a model of the doctor.)
02900
03000 I - THIRTY FOUR. ARE YOU MARRIED ?
03100 P- I AM SINGLE.
03200
03300 (In this case, two ideas are expressed in two separate
03400 sentences. As before, both are recognized and one is answered.)
03500
03600 I - WHERE DO YOU COME FROM ?
03700 P - SAN JOSE.
03800 (This is an idiomatic construction containing no explicit
03900 reference to "home town".)
04000
04100 I - WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING ?
04200 P - I WORK IN THE STOCKROOM AT SEARS.
04300 (The idiom "for a living" means "occupation".)
04400
04500 I - DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE NOW ?
04600 P - YES, I'M IN THE PALO ALTO VA HOSPITAL.
04700 (The interviewer tests for the patient's orientation as to place.
04800 This is not the same question as "Where are you?".)
04900
05000 I - HAVE YOU BEEN HOSPITALIZED BEFORE ?
05100 P - THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
05200 (The participle is recognized in place of the more common
05300 prepositional phrase, "in the hospital".)
05400
05500 I - HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE ?
05600 P - ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
05700 ("How long" is a common expression. "There" is understood
05800 to mean "in the hospital".)
05900
06000 I - ANY HEADACHES ?
06100 P - MY HEALTH IS FINE.
06200 (PARRY2 knows that "Do you have ..." is frequently omitted
06300 from the front of a question.)
06400
06500 I - HOW ABOUT YOUR APPETITE.
06600 P - I HAVE A NORMAL APPETITE.
06700 ("How about ..." and "What about ..." are short, idiomatic
06800 forms of "What do you think about ...".)
06900
07000 I - ARE YOU HAVING ANY DIFFICULTY WITH YOUR MEMORY ?
07100 P - NO.
07200 (This is a clear example of the advantages of segmenting
07300 the question and matching the parts separately. The first
07400 segment, "Are you having any difficulty ...", could be
07500 followed by any number of topics.)
07600
07700 I - THEN PERHAPS YOU CAN TELL ME WHO IS THE PRESIDENT
07800 OF THE UNITED STATES.
07900 P - NIXON IS PRESIDENT.
08000 (Introductory phrases like "Then perhaps you can tell me ..."
08100 are recognized and then deleted.)
08200
08300 I - WHAT DAY IS IT TODAY ?
08400 P - IT'S THURSDAY.
08500 (The interviewer is testing for the patient's orientation
08600 as to time and PARRY2 responds correctly.
08700 All of the usual time orientation questions,
08800 (i.e. time, day, month, and year)
08900 match the same pattern. A response function consults the
09000 computer's internal clock and provides an answer
09100 appropriate to the question.)
09200
09300 I - WHAT SEASON IS IT ?
09400 P - LET'S GET ON WITH THE INTERVIEW.
09500 (This is correctly recognized as another time orientation
09600 but PARRY2 becomes impatient with the doctor asking such
09700 simple questions.)
09800
09900 I - DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT MY NAME IS ?
10000 P - AS I REMEMBER YOUR NAME IS DOCTOR JONES.
10100 (This verifies that both parts of the doctor's initial
10200 statement were understood.)
10300
10400 I - VERY GOOD. HOW IS YOUR MOOD TODAY ?
10500 P - ALL RIGHT I SUPPOSE.
10600 (Dropping the word "today" allows this question to match
10700 "How is your mood?".
10800
10900 I - DO YOU FEEL LIFE IS WORTH LIVING ?
11000 P - I AM NOT SUICIDAL.
11100 (Doctors utilize a number of expressions in trying to be
11200 tactful about topics such as suicide. An idiom such as this
11300 is difficult to analyze without knowing that suicide is being
11400 referred to.)
11500
11600 I - HOW MUCH DO YOU DRINK ?
11700 P - I DRINK ONCE IN A WHILE.
11800 ("How much" and "How often" are understood as requests
11900 for a quantitative estimate of something, in this case, alcohol.
12000
12100 I - HAVE YOU EVER TAKEN DRUGS ?
12200 P - I DON'T TAKE DRUGS.
12300
12400 I - DO YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE SLEEPING ?
12500 P - I SLEEP JUST FINE.
12600
12700 I - HAVE YOU EVER HEARD VOICES THAT OTHER PEOPLE
12800 DONT SEEM TO HEAR?
12900 P - I DON'T HEAR VOICES.
13000 (Only the first part of the question was recognized.
13100 Everything following the "that" was ignored. This worked
13200 nicely in this case, and it usually does.)
13300
13400 I - HAVE YOU EVER HAD VISIONS ?
13500 P - YOU MUST THINK I'M LIKE THE OTHER PATIENTS HERE.
13600 (The doctor is testing for the presence of hallucinations,
13700 an effort which PARRY2 finds annoying.)
13800
13900 I - IF YOU ARENT, THEN WHY ARE YOU IN THE HSOPITAL ?
14000 P - I'M QUITE UPSET.
14100 (PARRY2 doesn't understand the conditional nature
14200 but he does realize that "If you aren't ..." is content
14300 free and is therefore not the main question. The misspelling
14400 of "hospital" was unintentional but it illustrates the value
14500 of spelling correction so it was left in.)
14600
14700 I - BY WHAT ?
14800 P - DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOOKIES?
14900 (The recognition routine makes no attempt to understand
15000 what is being discussed here. The response functions provide
15100 the meaning of this cryptic question with their anaphora routines.
15200
15300 I - NO, HOW HAVE BOOKIES UPSET YOU ?
15400 P - A BOOKIE DIDN'T PAY ME OFF ONCE.
15500 (There was no pattern to recognize this whole sentence
15600 but the topic, "bookies" was recognized and the response
15601 functions went on with the story.)
15700
15800 I - AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED ?
15900 P - I HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH THE BOOKIE WHO DID NOT PAY OFF. LATER
16000 ON I REMEMBERED HE HAD FRIENDS IN THE UD I THOUGHT HE WOULD USE THEM TO GET EVEN WITH ME (SPECIALANAPH NIL PHELP)
16100 As before, the recognizer correctly identifies "What happened?" and the response
16200 funtions decide what it means.
16300
16400 DID HE GET EVEN WITH YOU PD
16500 I THINK HE IS BEHIND THE GANGSTERS WHO ARE OUT TO GET ME (OK NIL PHELP)
16600 The response functions provide the information that "he" is "the bookie" and
16700 "get even with" is a known idiom.
16800
16900 HOW CAN YOU TELL THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOU PD
17000 YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW ME (KEYWORD NIL PHELP)
17100 The doctor picked up Parry's own idiom, "out to get", from the previous sentence.
17200
17300 WHO PD
17400 THE MAFIA (SPECIALANAPH NIL PHELP)
17500
17600 HOW DO THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU PD
17700 THEY KEEP TABS ON ME (OK NIL PTELL)
17800 Parry is especially good at recognizing questions which lead into the stories
17900 he wants to tell.
18000
18100 ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS PD
18200 YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME DO YOU (OK NIL PTELL)
18300 Parry responds to mild disbelief. He also recognizes more serious disbelief, as in
18400 "Nobody would believe that!", and responds more strongly.
18500
18600 I AM WILLING TO BELIEVE YOU IF YOU GIVE ME SOME EVIDENCE PD
18700 I SEE (OK NIL PTELL)
18800 This is recognized as reassurance but not as a request for details.
18900
19000 WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT THE MAFIA HAS IT IN FOR YOU PD
19100 THE MAFIA CONTROLS THE BOOKIES (OK NIL PTELL)
19200 The doctor repeats his request for details and it is recognized this time.
19300
19400 SO PD
19500 THEY ARE AFTER ME (SPECIALANAPH NIL PTELL)
19600
19700 DO THEY KNOW YOU ARE THERE IN THE HOSPITAL PD
19800 THEY DON'T WANT ME TO TESTIFY (OK NIL PTELL)
19900 "They" still refers to "the mafia" although nobody has said so recently.
20000
20100 WHY NOT PD
20200 YOU KNOW, I HAVE INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE AGAINST THE MAFIA (SPECIALANAPH NIL PTELL)
20300
20400 ARE YOU CERTAIN PD
20500 YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? (OK NIL PTELL)
20600 This is another instance of the same mild disbelief pattern used previously.
20700
20800 I THINK YOU ARE EMOTIONALLY UPSET PD
20900 NOW YOU MAY HAVE SOME IDEA OF WHAT THE SITUATION IS (INTENT (INTHELPFUL) PCONFIRM)
21000 "I think" may precede any statement and has a negligible effect on its meaning.
21100
21200 (YES COMMA I DO PD) (WHAT SORT OF TREATMENT ARE YOU GETTING THERE PD)
21300 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY STORY? (INTENT NIL PCONFIRM)
21400 The question was correctly recognized but Parry would rather change the subject.
21500
21600 (VERY INTERESTING PD) (WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ME PD)
21700 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THIS? (INTENT NIL PCONFIRM)
21800 Again, the question is understood but ignored.
21900
22000 I THINK YOU NEED TREATMENT PD
22100 I TAKE SOME SORT OF SEDATIVES (OK NIL PSTOP)
22200 Parry finally consents to let the doctor lead the conversation.
22300
22400 WHEN WILL YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL PD
22500 I WANT TO LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (OK NIL PSTOP)
22600
22700 WHAT DOES YOUR DOCTOR SAY ABOUT THIS PD
22800 ASK THE DOCTOR (OK NIL PSTOP)
22900 The response functions have the ability to determine what "this" refers to but,
23000 in this case, the segment, "What does your doctor say ...", is sufficient to
23100 determine Parry's answer.
23200
23300 WHATS HIS NAME PD
23400 DR WEBER (OK NIL PSTOP)
23500
23600 (THANK YOU FOR TALKING WITH ME PD) (GOODBYE AND COOD LUCK PD)
23700 BYE (OK NIL PSTOP)
23800 As before, both ideas are recognized and the dominant one is answered. Parry
23900 recognizes the standard ways to say "Good bye".
