Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Survey of Syntactic Analysis Procedures for Natural Language The Computer Science Department of New York University, under contract to the Office of Naval Research, has prepared a series of reports examining selected areas of artificial intelligence. We hope in these critical surveys to place in perspective the main lines of past research and thereby perhaps to suggest fruitful directions for future work. As part of these surveys we have prepared precise specifications, in the programming language SETL, of some of the basic algorithms in each area. These specifications are intended to provide clear points of reference for structuring our review of past work. This first report is concerned with natural language processing systems, systems which are able to accept instructions or data in natural language. In very general terms, these systems process the text through several stages: (1) syntactic: analyzes the structure of each sentence (or other text unit) and rearranges the elements of the sentence to simplify its structures; this stage should recognize paraphrases due to alternative arrangements of words in a sentence (2) semantic: restructures the sentences into the form used for internal processing, such as inference or data retrieval; depending on the application, the output may be a command in an information retrieval language, a structure based on some set of semantic "primitives", or a tabular structure suitable as a data base; this stage should recognize some of the paraphrases due to alternative choices of words. (3) pragmatic: interprets the text based on particular context (problem situation or data base); this stage should recognize sentences which are equivalent in effect (such as "Throw that switch." and "Turn on the light."). The reader will note that these stages are very vaguely characterized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book 200 Years of Syntax written by Giorgio Graffi and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2001-04-11 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues convincingly against the widespread opinion that very few syntactic studies were carried out before the 1950s. Relying on the detailed analysis of a large amount of original sources, it shows that syntactic matters were in fact carefully investigated throughout both the 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century. Moreover, it illustrates how the enormous development of syntactic research in the last fifty years has already condemned even several recent ideas and analyses to oblivion, and deeply influenced current research programs. The wealth of research undertaken over the last two centuries is presented here in a systematic way, taking as its starting point the relationship of syntax with psychology throughout this period. The critical ideas expressed in the text are based on a detailed illustration of the different syntactic models and analyses rather than on the polemics between the different schools.

Book excerpt: A global introduction to language technology and the areas of computer science where language technology plays a role. Surveyed in this volume are issues related to the parsing problem in the fields of natural languages, programming languages, and formal languages.Throughout the book attention is paid to the social forces which influenced the development of the various topics. Also illustrated are the development of the theory of language analysis, its role in compiler construction, and its role in computer applications with a natural language interface between men and machine. Parts of the material in this book have been used in courses on computational linguistics, computers and society, and formal approaches to languages.

Download or read book Syntactic Analysis written by Robert D. Levine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In syntactic analysis, as in linguistics generally, the skills required to first identify, and then make sense of, complex patterns in linguistic data involve a certain specific kind of reasoning, where various alternatives are entertained and modified in light of progressively broader empirical coverage. Rather than focus on transmitting the details of complex theoretical superstructures, this textbook takes a practical, analytical approach, starting from a small set of powerful analytic tools, applied first to simple phenomena and then to the passive, complement and raising/control constructions. The analytic tools are then applied to unbounded dependencies, via detailed argumentation. What emerges is that syntactic structure, and intricate networks of dependencies linking different parts of those structures, are straightforward projections of lexical valence, in tandem with very general rules regulating the sharing of feature values. Featuring integrated exercises and problems throughout each chapter, this book equips students with the analytical tools for recognizing and assessing linguistic patterns.
Download or read book Algebraic Structures in Natural Language written by Shalom Lappin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebraic Structures in Natural Language addresses a central problem in cognitive science concerning the learning procedures through which humans acquire and represent natural language. Until recently algebraic systems have dominated the study of natural language in formal and computational linguistics, AI, and the psychology of language, with linguistic knowledge seen as encoded in formal grammars, model theories, proof theories and other rule-driven devices. Recent work on deep learning has produced an increasingly powerful set of general learning mechanisms which do not apply rule-based algebraic models of representation. The success of deep learning in NLP has led some researchers to question the role of algebraic models in the study of human language acquisition and linguistic representation. Psychologists and cognitive scientists have also been exploring explanations of language evolution and language acquisition that rely on probabilistic methods, social interaction and information theory, rather than on formal models of grammar induction. This book addresses the learning procedures through which humans acquire natural language, and the way in which they represent its properties. It brings together leading researchers from computational linguistics, psychology, behavioral science and mathematical linguistics to consider the significance of non-algebraic methods for the study of natural language. The text represents a wide spectrum of views, from the claim that algebraic systems are largely irrelevant to the contrary position that non-algebraic learning methods are engineering devices for efficiently identifying the patterns that underlying grammars and semantic models generate for natural language input. There are interesting and important perspectives that fall at intermediate points between these opposing approaches, and they may combine elements of both. It will appeal to researchers and advanced students in each of these fields, as well as to anyone who wants to learn more about the relationship between computational models and natural language.
