Scarica Kindle Language Processing with Perl and Prolog: Theories,
Implementation, and Application
By Pierre M Nugues
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.
