The UNO natural language processing (NLP) system implements a Boolean algebra computational model o f natural language [Iwadska, 1992] [Iwanska, 1993] [Iwanska, 1994] [Iwanska, 1996b] and reflects our researc h hypothesis that natural language is a very expressive, yet computationally tractable knowledge representation and reasoning system with its own representational and inferential machinery...

Language technology is becoming increasingly important across a variety of application domains which have become common place in large, well-resourced languages. However, there danger that small, under-resourced languages are being pushed to the technological margins. Under-resourced face significant challenges delivering underlying language resources necessary support such applications. This p...

In contemporary electronic medical records much of the clinically important data-signs and symptoms, symptom severity, disease status, etc.-are not provided in structured data fields but rather are encoded in clinician-generated narrative text. Natural language processing (NLP) provides a means of unlocking this important data source for applications in clinical decision support, quality assura...

The general task of work in knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) is, trivially, the representation of knowledge. The domain for which the representation task has been undertaken is, often, secondary to the description of the overall task as an exercise in knowledge representation. Thus, the task of representing and using mathematical, common sense, visual, language-based, and logical kn...

In this paper we describe a new quantification theory based on the Object Determination Logic(ODL). This theory extends the system of classical quantifiers as a system including the classical and linguistic ones. It takes into account typicality, as a dimension of cognition. This theory represents the background of a computational model in the semantic analysis of natural languages. This paper ...

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the most important field of computer science which deals with human language and computers. In India, most of the people live in the rural areas, so they have the problem of understanding English language. To address this issue, we discussed here, about various factors which affect Hindi natural language processing. In this paper, a framework for information...

As a relatively young field of research and development started by work on cryptanalysis and machine translation around 50 years ago, Natural Language Processing (NLP) is concerned with the automated processing of human language. It addresses the analysis and generation of written and spoken language, though speech processing is often regarded as a separate subfield. NLP emphasizes processing a...

This paper reports on a course whose aim is to introduce Formal Language Theory to students with little formal background (mostly linguistics students). The course was first taught at the European Summer School for Logic, Language and Information to a mixed audience of students, undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate, with various backgrounds. The challenges of teaching such a course include ...
