Natural Language Processing by the Penman Project at USC/ISI

Abstract

The Penman project at USC/ISI has been conducting research in computational Natural Language Processing since 1978, mainly in the area of language generation. This research includes work on single-sentence realization as well as multi-sentence text planning for descriptions and explanations. Over the past few years, the project's focus has broadened to include research on Machine Translation, including parsing and the semi-automated construction of large semantic knowledge bases and lexicons of various languages, as well as research on the automated planning of multimedia and multimodal communications in general. This paper provides an overview of the different research directions.
