Collected Papers of Martin Kay : A Half Century of Computational Linguistics

Since the dawn of the age of computers, researchers have been pushing the limits of available processing power to tackle the formidable challenge of developing software that can understand ordinary human language.  At the forefront of this quest for the past fifty years, Martin Kay has been a constant source of new algorithms which have proven fundamental to progress in computational linguistics. Collected Papers of Martin Kay, the first comprehensive collection of his works to date, opens a window into the growth of an increasingly important field of scientific research and development. 

 

 

Martin Kay is professor of linguistics at Stanford University and an honorary professor at the University of Saarland, Germany. He is a past president of the Association for the Computational Linguistics and resigned the chairmanship of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics in 2014, having served in that capacity for thirty years.

 

 



Dan Flickinger was a senior research associate at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, Stanford University and coeditor of Collected Papers of Martin Kay.
