Books in the Studies in Natural Language Processing series

A primary problem in the area of natural language processing has been that of semantic analysis. Semantic Processing for Finite Domains presents an approach to the computational processing of English text that combines current theories of knowledge representation and reasoning in Artificial Intelligence with the latest linguistic views of lexical semantics.

Editors Madeleine Bates and Ralph Weischedel have invited capable researchers in the field of natural language processing to address theoretical or applied work that has been achieved in the past.

This book explains how to build Natural Language Generation systems - computer software systems which automatically generate understandable texts in English or other human languages. The book covers the algorithms and representations needed to perform the core tasks of document planning, microplanning, and surface realization.

This book describes the Spoken Language Translator (SLT), one of the first major projects in the area of automatic speech translation.

A collection of new papers by leading researchers on natural language parsing.
