Synopsis

The amount of information that humans have gathered and made available to other humans is phenomenal, yet however large this repository of knowledge is, by this time tomorrow, it will be larger still. Applied Natural Language Processing: Identification, Investigation and Resolution is a volume dedicated to the successful application of processing tools to this information. The majority of this knowledge is expressed through textual media, which requires these tools to utilize the research in the field of Applied Natural Language Processing. This book contains state-of-the-art Applied Natural Language Processing techniques, as well as their applications. The descriptions and studies are the product of established researchers in fields relating to ANLP, and this work is relevant to teachers, students, and materials developers in fields spanning computer science, linguistics, and cognitive science.
