Computational Linguistics: Text Prediction and Sentence Correction

Text Based Interactive Fiction and Computational Linguistics

Interactive ction (IF) or text adventures are text-based computer games. After a short introduction I will explain some details of an IF authoring system. As an illustration I will give an outline of my own project. I will conclude by discussing some scientiic attempts to improve the genre using theories of artiicial intelligence and computational linguistics. 1 What is interactive ction (IF) ?...

STUDIES IN COMPUTATIONAL AND THEORETICAL LINGUISTICS DISCOURSE AND COHERENCE From the Sentence Structure to Relations in Text

Producing a Persian Text Tokenizer Corpus Focusing on Its Computational Linguistics Considerations

The main task of the tokenization is to divide the sentences of the text into its constituent units and remove punctuation marks (dots, commas, etc.). Each unit is a continuous lexical or grammatical writing chain that is an independent semantic unit. Tokenization occurs at the word level and the extracted units can be used as input to other components such as stemmer. The requirement to create...

The Future of Text-Meaning in Computational Linguistics

Writer-based and reader-based views of text-meaning are reflected by the respective questions “What is the author trying to tell me?” and “What does this text mean to me personally?” Contemporary computational linguistics, however, generally takes neither view. But this is not adequate for the development of sophisticated applications such as intelligence gathering and question answering. I dis...

Linguistics in Computational Linguistics: Observations and Predictions

As my title suggests, this position paper focuses on the relevance of linguistics in NLP instead of asking the inverse question. Although the question about the role of computational linguistics in the study of language may theoretically be much more interesting than the selected topic, I feel that my choice is more appropriate for the purpose and context of this workshop. This position paper s...
