Natural language processing

Natural Language Processing Overview
Introduces readers to NLP, familiarising them with the common terminology. The major aspects of understanding English sentences are described in order, including morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics.

Natural Language Processing Using Linux

Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Partly out of an attempt to pass Turing's test, and partly just for the fun of it, there arose, largely in the 1970s, a group of programs that tried to cross the first human-computer barrier: language.

Natural Language Processing
Natural Language Processing is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence, dealing with the interaction of human (natural) languages, and computers.
For that reason, it is also referred to as "Computational Linguistics".

Natural Language Processing (NLP). The ability of a computer application, such as a search engine to accept ordinary language input rather than highly specified instructions. It processes text through analysis of syntax and semantics.

Natural Language Processing
English is an example of a natural language, a computer language isn't. For a computer to process a natural language, it would have to mimic what a human does.

Natural Language Processing
Natural-language-generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal-sounding human language.

natural language processing (NLP) computer processing of speech or machine-readable text in a natural language; includes machine translation, natural language understanding, content extraction, summarization, natural language generation.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence and linguistics. ... A computer program is a collection of instructions that describe a task, or set of tasks, to be carried out by a computer. ... Terry A.

is an award-winning natural language processing chatterbot, a program that engages in a conversation with a human by applying some heuristical pattern matching rules to the human's input.

The problem of machine translation for natural language processing led Victor Yngve at MIT to use linked lists as data structures in his COMIT programming language for computer research in the field of linguistics.

Similarly, one could imagine there being a "language module" in the brain, as there might be in computers with natural language processing programs.

Among the application areas of AI, we have Expert systems, Game-playing, and Theorem-proving, Natural language processing, Image recognition, Robotics and many others.

I have worked on computer vision (my Ph.D. thesis), natural language processing, connectionist/neural net models, and "memory-based reasoning," a method of classification that uses nearest neighbors in a database to aid in making decisions.

See [Charniak, 1993] for applications in natural language processing including part of speech tagging. Charniak [1993] provides lots of examples that provide useful insight.
