With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

One of the most di$cult problems in Arti"cial Intelligence (AI) is to construct a natural language processing system which can interact with users through a natural language dialogue. The problem is di$cult because there are so many ways by which a user can phrase his/her utterances to such a system. An added problem is that di!erent types of users have di!erent types of intentions and will con...

In this paper an exploratory map of what intelligent natural language processing systems can achieve will be drawn up, given the advances that have been made in recent years as revealed in the latest developments in practical applications of natural language technology in areas as diverse as natural language generation, natural language understanding, machine translation, dialog system etc. Her...

Although image understanding and natural language processing constitute two major areas of AI, they have mostly been studied independently of each other. Only a few attempts have been concerned with the integration of computer vision and the generation of natural language expressions for the description of image sequences. The aim of our joint efforts at combining a vision system and a natural ...

In this research, an intelligent system is designed between the user and the database system which accepts natural language input and then converts it into an SQL query. The research focuses on incorporating complex queries along with simple queries irrespective of the database. The system accommodates aggregate functions, multiple conditions in WHERE clause, advanced clauses like ORDER BY, GRO...

The specification phase is one of the most important and least supported part of the software development process. We have conceived SAREL (Assistance System for Writing Software Specification in Natural Language) as a knowledge-based tool to improve the specification phase. The purpose of SAREL is to assist engineers in the creation of software specifications written in natural language. The f...

This paper describes a natural language processing system developed for the Semantic Network Array Processor (SNAP). The goal of our work is to develop a scalable and high-performance natural language processing system which utilizes the high degree of parallelism provided by the SNAP machine. We have implemented an experimental machine translation system as a central part of a real-time speech...
