The START (SynTactic Analysis using Reversible Transformations) Natural Language System developed at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is designed to answer questions that are posed to it in natural language. The system parses incoming questions, matches the queries created from the parse trees against its knowledge base and presents the appropriate information segments to the user. START has been connected to the Web since 1993, and can answer questions typed in English about the MIT AI Laboratory, geography, and assorted other topics. It seems to work pretty well, correctly fielding queries like "What planet has the smallest surface area?" and "What movies has Dustin Hoffman been in?".
