Abstract

It is not necessary and it is even not advisable to translate the sentences into an internal representation [6]. It is preferable to keep them as they are, and to interpret them at variable depth. This concept consists of 3 aspects [4]: progressive description, multiplicity of inference strategies, and evaluation on demand of partial results.
