Method Detail

process

public void process(Frame frame,
                    Discourse discourse)

All nouns in the current sentence should be put into the Discourse pool. Also, the mood of the sentence (command, question, or information) should be stored so a fragment will be correctly used by the Ellipsis module. For example, a command or information would cause Ellipsis to attempt to fill in parts of the current sentence with the previous. A question would expect to a fragment to be the answer to the question. Finally, the sentence structure will be moved to the previous sentence structure.

Parameters:

frame - Frame which contains all of object ids processed in the last input.

discourse - Discourse object to store previous information in.
