Future Prospects for Computational Linguistics
For over two decades, researchers in artificial intelligence and computational linguistics have sought to discover principles that would allow computer systems to process natural languages such as English. This work has been pursued both to further the scientific goals of providing a framework for a computational theory of natural-language communication and to further the engineering goals of c...
متن کاملComparative Linguistics via Language Modeling
Natural languages are related to each other genetically. Traditionally, such genetic relationships have been demonstrated using the comparative method. I describe a software system that implements an alternative method for detecting such relationships using simple statistical language modeling.
متن کاملThe Comparative Linguistics of Knowledge
We develop a methodology for comparing knowledge representation formalisms in terms of their \representational succinctness," that is, their ability to express knowledge situations relatively eeciently. We use this framework for comparing many important formalisms for knowledge base representation: propositional logic, default logic, circumscription, and model preference defaults; and, at a low...
متن کاملMathematical approaches to comparative linguistics.
The inference of the evolutionary history of a set of languages is a complex problem. Although some languages are known to be related through descent from common ancestral languages, for other languages determining whether such a relationship holds is itself a difficult problem. In this paper we report on new methods, developed by linguists Johanna Nichols (University of California, Berkeley), ...
متن کاملOtomanguean historical linguistics: Past, present, and prospects for the future
2 Among the linguistic lineages of Mesoamerica, the Otomanguean family is the most diverse 3 and most widely spread. Long occupying a central position in one of the cradles of human 4 civilization, speakers of Otomanguean languages have played important roles in the region, 5 about which their languages have much to tell. However, Otomanguean is perhaps the least 6 understood of the major Mesoa...
