Synopsis

Appropriate for courses in artificial intelligence, computer science, logic programming, and expert systems. Can be used as supplemental text in courses in computational linguistics (natural language processing).

• This text covers the Prolog programming language thoroughly with an emphasis on building practical application software, not just theory. Working through this book, students build several types of expert systems, as well as natural language processing software and utilities to read foreign file formats.
• This is the first book to cover ISO Standard Prolog, but the programs are compatible with earlier dialects of the language. Program files are available by FTP from The University of Georgia.

About this title

Synopsis

This text covers natural language processing in Prolog and presumes knowledge of Prolog, but not of linguistics. It includes simple but practical database query systems; covers syntax, formal semantics, and morphology; emphasizes working computer programs that implement subsystems of a natural language processor; features programs that are clearly designed and compatible with any Edinburgh-compatible prolog implementation (Quintas, ESL, Arity, ALS etc.); and contains nearly 100 hands-on Prolog programming exercises and problem sets.
