Towards Understanding Theoretical Developments in Natural Language Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is that field of computer science which consists of interfacing computer representations of information with natural languages used by humans. It examines the use of computers in understanding and manipulating the natural language text and speech. The main aim of the researchers in this field is to collect the necessary details about how natural languages are being used and understood by humans. They use these details to develop the tools for making the computers understand and manipulate the natural languages to perform the desired tasks. In this paper we describe some of the theoretical developments that have influenced research in NLP. We also discuss automatic abstracting and information retrieval in natural language processing applications. We conclude with a discussion on Natural Language Interfaces, NLP software and the future research in NLP.ing and information retrieval in natural language processing applications. We conclude with a discussion on Natural Language Interfaces, NLP software and the future research in NLP.

Computational psycholinguistics
Over the last two decades, computational linguistics has been revolutionized as a result of three closely related developments, two empirical and one theoretical: increases in computing power, the new availability of large linguistic datasets, and a paradigm shift toward the view that language processing by computers is best approached through the tools of statistical inference. During roughly ...
متن کاملAI Approaches Towards Sensor-Based Driver Support in Road Vehicles
The concept of a sensor-based support system for drivers of road vehicles is outlined and subsequently reened step by step. The reenement steps emphasize the necessity to treat this problem on a conceptual rather than on a signal processing level. Moreover, this approach emphasizes the systems aspect. As a consequence, the challenge to AI is seen at the systems level. Various recent development...
متن کاملSentence Co-occurrences as Small-world Graphs: A Solution to Automatic Lexical Disambiguation
This paper presents a graph-theoretical approach to lexical disambiguation on word co-occurrences. Producing a dictionary similar to WordNet, this method is the counterpart to word sense disambiguation and thus makes one more step towards completely unsupervised natural language processing algorithms as well as generally better understanding of how to make computers meaningfully process natural...

Today, the importance of text processing and its usages is well known among researchers and students. The amount of textual, documental materials increase day by day. So we need useful ways to save them and retrieve information from these materials. For example, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and etc. need to read so many web documents and retrieve the most similar ones to the user ...
متن کاملCombining Linguistic and Statistical Knowledge Sources in Natural-language Processing for Atis*
During the past year, signiicant improvements have been made in the natural-language processing technology used in the SRI ATIS spoken-language understanding system. The principal developments have been (1) the incorporation of information from the natural-language grammar and lexicon into a statistical language model that is used in both recognition and understanding, (2) implementation of a r...
