Representation and Inference for Natural Language : A First Course in Computational Semantics, Paperback / softback Book

Representation and Inference for Natural Language : A First Course in Computational Semantics Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Computational Linguistics series

Paperback / softback

Description

How can computers distinguish the coherent from the unintelligible, recognize new information in a sentence, or draw inferences from a natural language passage?

Computational semantics is an exciting new field that seeks answers to these questions, and this volume is the first textbook wholly devoted to this growing sub discipline.

The book explains the underlying theoretical issues and fundamental techniques for computing semantic representations for fragments of natural language.

This volume will be an essential text for computer scientists, linguists, and anyone interested in the development of computational semantics.
