Web Text Corpus for Natural Language Processing

Web text has been successfully used as training data for many NLP applications. While most previous work accesses web text through search engine hit counts, we created a Web Corpus by downloading web pages to create a topic-diverse collection of 10 billion words of English. We show that for context-sensitive spelling correction the Web Corpus results are better than using a search engine. For t...

Natural Language Processing Methods for Automatic Illustration of Text

The thesis describes methods for automatic creation of illustrations of natural-language text. The main focus of the work is to convert texts that describe sequences of events in a physical world into animated images. This is what we call text-to-scene conversion. The first part of the thesis describes Carsim, a system that automatically illustrates traffic accident newspaper reports written in...

An Interactive Tool for Natural Language Processing on Clinical Text

Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems often make use of machine learning techniques that are unfamiliar to endusers who are interested in analyzing clinical records. Although NLP has been widely used in extracting information from clinical text, current systems generally do not support model revision based on feedback from domain experts. We present a prototype tool that allows end users to...
