Re: Just a quick question.

At Xerox there was a natural language understanding project. They built a small database of airline schedules and let people try it out:

"Book me a flight from San Diego to San Francisco."

"I have a flight leaving at 12:00."

"I'd like one a little closer to 6:00."

"I have one at 12:01"

[There was a flight at 6:00 but the customer specified "a little closer." He meant a lot closer.]
