Synopsis

This volume is based on contributions from the First International Conference on “Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing” (RANLP’95) held in Tzigov Chark, Bulgaria, 14-16 September 1995. This conference was one of the most important and competitively reviewed conferences in Natural Language Processing (NLP) for 1995 with submissions from more than 30 countries. Of the 48 papers presented at RANLP’95, the best (revised) papers have been selected for this book, in the hope that they reflect the most significant and promising trends (and latest successful results) in NLP.
The book is organised thematically and the contributions are grouped according to the traditional topics found in NLP: morphology, syntax, grammars, parsing, semantics, discourse, grammars, generation, machine translation, corpus processing and multimedia. To help the reader find his/her way, the authors have prepared an extensive index which contains major terms used in NLP; an index of authors which lists the names of the authors and the page numbers of their paper(s); a list of figures; and a list of tables.
This book will be of interest to researchers, lecturers and graduate students interested in Natural Language Processing and more specifically to those who work in Computational Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics and Machine Translation.

About this title

Synopsis

This volume brings together revised versions of a selection of papers presented at the 1995 International Conference on Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing. The aim of the conference was to give researchers the opportunity to present results in Natural Language Processing (NLP) based on modern theories and methodologies. Alternative techniques to mainstream symbolic NLP, such as analogy-based, statistical and connectionist approaches were also covered. Topics covered in this work include: morphology, syntax, grammars, parsing, semantics, discourse, grammars, generation, machine translation, corpus processing and multimedia. This book should be of interest to researchers, lecturers, and graduate students interested in NLP and to those who work in computational linguistics, corpus linguistics and machine translation.
