About this title

Review

From the reviews:

“The book presents the very interesting and useful results of the work developed under the Global Autonomous Language Exploitation (GALE) program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). ... Although more work is still to be done for achieving full language comprehension, the currently obtained results are already very impressive.” (Ruxandra Stoean, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1230, 2012)

“It provides a detailed snapshot of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA’s) five-year Global Autonomous Language Exploitation (GALE) project at the end of its third year. ... The innovative idea of GALE is to have the analytic processes involved in translation apply concurrently rather than sequentially, thus creating a community of experts that can interact with each other if ambiguities or uncertainties arise. ... The different write-ups are very engaging, and each subsection concludes with concise summaries. ... this book delivers true breakthroughs.” (Klaus K. Obermeier, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2011)
