Natural Language Understanding and Logic Programming, II by Veronica Dahl,Patrick Saint-Dizier Pdf

Natural language semantics and pragmatics are now two major fields in linguistics, philosophy, artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. With the development of large and efficient Prolog interpreters and compilers and with the expansion of the theoretical aspects of logic programming, the study of natural language semantics and related pragmatic aspects is now becoming a very attractive topic. The proceedings of this workshop reflect these trends. The papers cover almost all the current research fields in natural language, including: morphology, syntax, parser design, generation, feature checking and specification, semantic representations and construction of cooperative responses. Articles on syntax deal with constraints to parsing and generation, rule pruning and comparison of logic-based language systems. The material on the compilers involves functional logic grammars and unification-based grammars. The work on semantics investigates logico-semantic induction, data semantics, comparatives, conceptual graphs, discourse representation, and graphs. Papers on pragmatics discuss disambiguation, cooperation with the user through integrity constraints, and question interpretation through epistemic reasoning. Panel discussions are centered around future directions of research as well as comparisons between different points of view about actual research projects.

Natural Language Understanding and Logic Programming, III by Charles Grant Brown,Gregers Koch Pdf

Addressed in this third workshop on natural language understanding and logic programming are a wide variety of issues and some interesting challenges for future work. For temporal expressions, the intriguing question is examined - Can we in fact provide the translation from the HOL system logic to NL and vice versa. Can we now develop NL systems that take advantage of this logic, and particularly, can we extend the system to deal with duration? Also, a strong formal linguistic base for natural language understanding programs is presented, as well as other topics including temporal persistence, natural semantics and logic, and alternative parses.

An Introduction to Natural Language Processing Through Prolog by Clive Matthews Pdf

Research into Natural Language Processing - the use of computers to process language - has developed over the last couple of decades into one of the most vigorous and interesting areas of current work on language and communication. This book introduces the subject through the discussion and development of various computer programs which illustrate some of the basic concepts and techniques in the field. The programming language used is Prolog, which is especially well-suited for Natural Language Processing and those with little or no background in computing. Following the general introduction, the first section of the book presents Prolog, and the following chapters illustrate how various Natural Language Processing programs may be written using this programming language. Since it is assumed that the reader has no previous experience in programming, great care is taken to provide a simple yet comprehensive introduction to Prolog. Due to the 'user friendly' nature of Prolog, simple yet effective programs may be written from an early stage. The reader is gradually introduced to various techniques for syntactic processing, ranging from Finite State Network recognisors to Chart parsers. An integral element of the book is the comprehensive set of exercises included in each chapter as a means of cementing the reader's understanding of each topic. Suggested answers are also provided. An Introduction to Natural Language Processing Through Prolog is an excellent introduction to the subject for students of linguistics and computer science, and will be especially useful for those with no background in the subject.

Logic Grammars by Harvey Abramson,Veronica Dahl Pdf

Logic grammars have found wide application both in natural language processing and in formal applications such as compiler writing. This book introduces the main concepts involving natural and formal language processing in logic programming, and discusses typical problems which the reader may encounter, proposing various methods for solving them. The basic material is presented in depth; advanced material, involving new logic grammar formalisms and applications, is presented with a view towards breadth. Major sections of the book include: grammars for formal language and linguistic research, writing a simple logic grammar, different types of logic grammars, applications, and logic grammars and concurrency. This book is intended for those interested in logic programming, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, Fifth Generation computing, formal languages and compiling techniques. It may be read profitably by upper-level undergraduates, post-graduate students, and active researchers on the above-named areas. Some familiarity with Prolog and logic programming would be helpful; the authors, however, briefly describe Prolog and its relation to logic grammars. After reading Logic Grammars, the reader will be able to cope with the ever-increasing literature of this new and exciting field.

Learning Language in Logic by James Cussens,Saso Dzeroski Pdf

This volume has its origins in the ?rst Learning Language in Logic (LLL) wo- shop which took place on 30 June 1999 in Bled, Slovenia immediately after the Ninth International Workshop on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP’99) and the Sixteenth International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML’99). LLL is a research area lying at the intersection of computational linguistics, machine learning, and computational logic. As such it is of interest to all those working in these three ?elds. I am pleased to say that the workshop attracted subm- sions from both the natural language processing (NLP) community and the ILP community, re?ecting the essentially multi-disciplinary nature of LLL. Eric Brill and Ray Mooney were invited speakers at the workshop and their contributions to this volume re?ect the topics of their stimulating invited talks. After the workshop authors were given the opportunity to improve their papers, the results of which are contained here. However, this volume also includes a substantial amount of two sorts of additional material. Firstly, since our central aim is to introduce LLL work to the widest possible audience, two introductory chapters have been written. Dzeroski, ? Cussens and Manandhar provide an - troduction to ILP and LLL and Thompson provides an introduction to NLP.

Language Processing with Perl and Prolog by Pierre M. Nugues Pdf

The areas of natural language processing and computational linguistics have continued to grow in recent years, driven by the demand to automatically process text and spoken data. With the processing power and techniques now available, research is scaling up from lab prototypes to real-world, proven applications. This book teaches the principles of natural language processing, first covering practical linguistics issues such as encoding and annotation schemes, defining words, tokens and parts of speech and morphology, as well as key concepts in machine learning, such as entropy, regression and classification, which are used throughout the book. It then details the language-processing functions involved, including part-of-speech tagging using rules and stochastic techniques, using Prolog to write phase-structure grammars, syntactic formalisms and parsing techniques, semantics, predicate logic and lexical semantics and analysis of discourse and applications in dialogue systems. A key feature of the book is the author's hands-on approach throughout, with sample code in Prolog and Perl, extensive exercises, and a detailed introduction to Prolog. The reader is supported with a companion website that contains teaching slides, programs and additional material. The second edition is a complete revision of the techniques exposed in the book to reflect advances in the field the author redesigned or updated all the chapters, added two new ones and considerably expanded the sections on machine-learning techniques.

Reversible Grammar in Natural Language Processing by T. Strzalkowski Pdf

Reversible grammar allows computational models to be built that are equally well suited for the analysis and generation of natural language utterances. This task can be viewed from very different perspectives by theoretical and computational linguists, and computer scientists. The papers in this volume present a broad range of approaches to reversible, bi-directional, and non-directional grammar systems that have emerged in recent years. This is also the first collection entirely devoted to the problems of reversibility in natural language processing. Most papers collected in this volume are derived from presentations at a workshop held at the University of California at Berkeley in the summer of 1991 organised under the auspices of the Association for Computational Linguistics. This book will be a valuable reference to researchers in linguistics and computer science with interests in computational linguistics, natural language processing, and machine translation, as well as in practical aspects of computability.
