This paper describes a computer program which demonstrates one approach to building an "intelligent" machine. The computer system called SIR---Semantic Information Retriever---exhibits some humanlike conversational behavior and appears to have certain cognitive abilities. The conversation presented in Figure 1 between a person (identified by "***.") and SIR illustrates some of the system's capabilities.
