abstract = {We present a user-centered model for porting natural language interfaces
(NLIs) between domains efficiently. The model assumes that domain
experts without any background knowledge about computational linguistics
will perform the customization of the NLI to a specific domain. In
fact, it merely requires familiarity with the underlying knowledge
base as well as with a few basic subcategorization types. Our model
is iterative in the sense that the adaption of the NLI is performed
in several cycles on the basis of the questions which the NLI failed
to answer, thus iteratively increasing the coverage of the system.
We provide experimental evidence in form of a user study as well
as a case study involving a real-world application corroborating
that our model is indeed a feasible way of customizing the interface
to a certain domain.},
