This module, licensed under the permissive BSD 3-clause, reads on stdin user input in natural language, parse it, call resolution routines when ambiguous concepts are used, and finally generate RDF statements that are an interpretation of the input.

It includes as well a verbalization module that conversely turns RDF statements into a sentence in natural language.

While not strictly required, it is strongly recommanded to use dialogs with a knowledge base that follows the ''KB API'' like minimalKB or oro-server.

You are welcome to reuse this software for your research. Please refer to the CITATION file for proper attribution in scientific works.

Simply run:

> pip install dialogs

> dialogs --help

should help you to start.

Common invokation is:

> dialogs -d NAME_OF_THE_SPEAKER

The main test-suite can be started with:

> dialogs_test

A live demo of the parser alone (not the semantic grounding part) is available online.
