Abstract

The meaning of an utterance, or even a single word, often depends on context, so the inability to represent and process context puts a fundamental limit on how much meaning can be recovered from language. This paper discusses some issues related to context that emerged from the Communicating with Computers program, sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
