Description
This comprehensive reference work provides an overview of theconcepts, methodologies, and applications in computationallinguistics and natural language processing (NLP).
* Features contributions by the top researchers in the field,reflecting the work that is driving the discipline forward
* Includes an introduction to the major theoretical issues inthese fields, as well as the central engineering applications thatthe work has produced
* Presents the major developments in an accessible way,explaining the close connection between scientific understanding ofthe computational properties of natural language and the creationof effective language technologies
* Serves as an invaluable state-of-the-art reference source forcomputational linguists and software engineers developing NLPapplications in industrial research and development labs ofsoftware companies
Reviews / Votes
"The overall evaluation is therefore definitely very good:the work is solid, complete and definitely an important referencefor NLP and CL." (Linguistlist, 14 January2014) "Altogether, this Handbookcovers a wide variety of topicsin NLP and CL and, is of particular use to researchers in the fieldof MT. On a more general note, graduate students or noviceresearchers can utilise this book as a comprehensive starting pointfor their area of interest within NLP or CL ... All in all,this is very well compiled book, which effectively balances thewidth and depth of theories and applications in two very diverseyet closely related fields of language research."
