Abstract:
As e-commerce continues to expand, the potential utility of natural language communication with ecommerce applications becomes increasingly apparent. While clickable web pages will continue to support the great majority of e-commerce interactions for some time to come, increasing numbers of on-line customers want to speak with a person. If a natural language interface could successfully assume some of this customer-service burden, requirements for human staff would be reduced.
