Research in Natural Language Processing
Abstract
Primary interest is in the development of systems which can automatically process natural language text concerning limited domains. At the outset of our research, a number of research groups had created systems which could analyze some moderately complex tests. However, these systems were just demonstrations operating on small bodies of test, and were too fragile to become prototypes of operational systems (the few exceptions either operated on extremely simple test or extracted only a few predefined types of facts from a text). The central goal was to develop the techniques and tools which would allow us to create robust prototypes for operational systems. This central goal has led us to a wide variety of research in computational linguistics, from the development of parsers, grammars, and complete applications for text processing to basic research on issues of syntactic and semantic analysis. Summarize below these different research areas and provide pointers to the memoranda, publications, and dissertations produced as part of this research.
