TOPIC:      The Theatre System:  An object-oriented rule-based framework
            for the graphical representation of natural language systems.

SPEAKER:    Helga Leonhardt

WHEN:       Friday, August 21st, 11:00 am

WHERE:      Conference Room 408, SDSC

ABSTRACT:

The Theatre System (TS) is an object-oriented framework for the construction
of natural language systems and a dynamic graphical interface for the use
of those systems.  Theatre's internal data structures make it ideal for
multilingual applications, as it is language independent.  Theatre is
general enough to support almost any human language.

Since objects can be reused, the framework technology was developed to
build interactive information systems in such diverse regions as
toxicology and pharmacology.  The goal of this project is to more
efficiently provide understanding of basic principles as well as answers
to specific questions on such matters as the causes and effects of
poisonings of animals and people.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

In the late 1970s, Helga Leonhardt, a specialist in language instruction,
developed a diagrammatic framework method for representing the different
parts of speech and how they interact.  Ms. Leonhardt has recently
completed the translation of the system into graphic form, mapping out
their dynamic relationships and devising The Theatre System for
portraying these relationships on screen.  Currently, Ms. Leonhardt is
a researcher at the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign where she
designs biomedical models in collaboration with domain experts.  All
models are based on the Theatre System technology.  Ms. Leonhardt
received her MA in language from San Diego State University in 1981,
holds a Secondary Teaching Credential, and a diploma in dance and
choreography form the University of Cologne.
