About this title

Synopsis

This book approaches parsing natural language, which is a central problem in machine translation and computer-based language processing. The author develops a bottom-up parsing algorithm called nodal spans to handle the complexities of real-world sentence constructions. The text begins with an overview of the history and significance of work done in this field and includes experiments conducted to demonstrate the limits of established techniques. It then presents the theory behind the nodal spans technique, which is notably fast and flexible. The book's last third covers the grammar, restrictions, and metalanguage used to implement the nodal spans algorithm. In doing so, it elucidates many problems inherent to natural language structures, such as resolving ambiguities of meaning and reference, a major hurdle in the field. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in parsing natural language, computational linguistics, and artificial intelligence.
