Ongoing directions in Computational Linguistics

چکیده
For those who, like me, have been associated with these meetings since tile beginning, it is a privilege and an enormous pleasure to return to France, and to u conference organized under the auspices of the University of Grenoble. it is too little recognized how much the field of comlmtational linguistics owes to this country and to that university. My predecessor, the second chairman of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics, the late Professor Bernard Vauquois and tile machine translation center that he founded in Greooble, have done more to shape our field than any other single person or center. They were the only major academic research group to live through the dark ages that followed the ALPAC report and their Ariune system has become ttle model for the great majority of the commercial machine translation systems that have ever been built. Professor Vauquois, and his students and colleagues have been missionaries for, anti tireless teachers of, computational linguistics for thirty years, establishing new research centers as far away as Malaysia.

متن کاملDiscovering Regularities in Non-Native Speech
This paper presents ongoing collaborative research which focuses on the application of computational linguistic techniques to the analysis of a corpus of native and non-native speech. The aim of this research is to use computational tools for phonological acquisition and representation to identify regularities and sub-regularities between different speaker groups. The corpus is being collected ...
متن کاملA constraint-based approach to morphological analysis (preliminaries)
0. Introduction This paper is intended to give the background to ongoing work on a constraint-based system for morphological analysis, which I intend to present in more detail later. The system represents one stage in the development of a (computational) morphological formalism suited for modelling the mechanisms of word formation, a development that began about four years ago, when I started e...
متن کاملA Tale of Two Cultures: Bringing Literary Analysis and Computational Linguistics Together
There are cultural barriers to collaborative effort between literary scholars and computational linguists. In this work, we discuss some of these problems in the context of our ongoing research project, an exploration of free indirect discourse in Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse, ultimately arguing that the advantages of taking each field out of its “comfort zone” justifies the inherent diff...
متن کاملEmotions and NLP: Future Directions
Emotions are not linguistic entities but they are conveniently expressed through the language. Feelings influence actions, thoughts and of course our way of communicate. It was more than twelve years ago that we developed WordNet-Affect (Strapparava and Valitutti, 2004), and I remember that at that time several people questioned about the utility and even the possibility of studying emotions us...
