Aspects of negation in English thesis Kahrel. A third class of models that plays a critical role in capturing knowledge of language are models based on logic. We discuss first-order logic, also known as the predicate calculus, as well as such related formalisms as lambda-calculus, feature structures, and semantic primitives. These logical representations have traditionally been used for modeling semantics and pragmatics, although more recent work has tended to focus on potentially more robust techniques drawn from non-logical lexical semantics.

Probabilistic models are crucial for capturing every kind of linguistic knowledge. Each of the other models state machines, formal rule systems, and logic can be aug- mented with probabilities. For example, the state machine can be augmented with probabilities to become the weighted automaton, or Markov model. We spend a significant amount of time on hidden Markov models or HMMs, which are used everywhere in the field, in part-of-speech tagging, speech recognition, dialogue under- standing, text-to-speech, and machine translation.

Finally, vector-space models, based on linear algebra, underlie information retrieval and many treatments of word meanings. Introduction a space of states representing hypotheses about an input. In speech recognition, we search through a space of phone sequences for the correct word. In parsing, we search through a space of trees for the syntactic parse of an input sentence. In machine trans- lation, we search through a space of translation hypotheses for the correct translation of a sentence into another language.

For non-probabilistic tasks, such as tasks involving state machines, we use well-known graph algorithms such as depth-first search. Machine learning tools such as classifiers and sequence models play a significant role in many language processing tasks. Based on attributes describing each object, a classifier attempts to assign a single object to a single class while a sequence model attempts to jointly classify a sequence of objects into a sequence of classes.

For example, in the task of deciding whether a word is spelled correctly, classi- fiers such as decision trees, support vector machines, Gaussian mixture models, and logistic regression could be used to make a binary decision correct or incorrect for one word at a time. Finally, researchers in language processing use many of the same methodologi- cal tools that are used in machine learning research—the use of distinct training and test sets, statistical techniques like cross-validation, and careful evaluation of trained systems.

The basis of this belief is the fact that the effective use of language is intertwined with our general cognitive abilities. Among the first to consider the computational implications of this intimate connection was Alan Turing In this famous paper, Turing introduced what has come to Turing test be known as the Turing test. Turing began with the thesis that the question of what it would mean for a machine to think was essentially unanswerable because of the inher- ent imprecision in the terms machine and think.

If the machine could win the game, it would be judged intelligent. One of the people is a contestant who plays the role of an interrogator. To win, the interrogator must determine which of the other two participants is the machine by asking a series of questions via a teletype. The task of the second human participant is to convince the interrogator that the other participant is the machine and that she is human.

Language, Thought, and Understanding 7 had in mind. A: Count me out on this one. I never could write poetry. Q: Add to A: Pause about 30 seconds and then give answer as Given the fact that you can fool some of the people all the time, it is not clear how rigorous this particular standard is. Nevertheless, the critical issue for Turing was that using language as humans do is sufficient, by itself, as an operational test for intelligence. ELIZA was an early nat- ural language processing system capable of carrying on a limited form of conversation with a user.

User1 : You are like my father in some ways. As Weizenbaum notes, this is one of the few dialogue genres where listeners can act as if they know nothing of the world. Since , an event known as the Loebner Prize competition has attempted to put various computer programs to the Turing test. Although these contests seem to have little scientific interest, a consistent result over the years has been that even the crudest programs can fool some of the judges some of the time Shieber, a.

Not surpris- ingly, these results have done nothing to quell the ongoing debate over the suitability of the Turing test as a test for intelligence among philosophers and AI researchers Searle, Introduction language. Nevertheless I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and educated opinion will have altered so much that we will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

It is now clear that regardless of what people believe or know about the inner work- ings of computers, they talk about them and interact with them as social entities. People act toward computers as if they were people; they are polite to them, treat them as team members, and expect, among other things, that computers should be able to understand their needs and be capable of interacting with them naturally.

For example, Reeves and Nass found that when a computer asked a human to evaluate how well the com- puter had been doing, the human gives more positive responses than when a different computer asks the same questions.

People seemed to be afraid of being impolite. In a different experiment, Reeves and Nass found that people also give computers higher performance ratings if the computer has recently said something flattering to the hu- man.

Given these predispositions, speech- and language-based systems may provide many users with the most natural interface for many applications.

This fact has led to a long-term focus in the field on the design of conversational agents, artificial entities that communicate conversationally. Alan Turing This is an exciting time for the field of speech and language processing. The startling increase in computing resources available to the average computer user, the rise of the Web as a massive source of information, and the increasing availability of wire- less mobile access have all placed speech- and language-processing applications in the technology spotlight.

A similar spoken dialogue system has been deployed by as- tronauts on the International Space Station. Some Brief History 9 in another language. Because of this diversity, speech and language processing encompasses a number of different but overlapping fields in these different departments: computational linguis- tics in linguistics, natural language processing in computer science, speech recogni- tion in electrical engineering, computational psycholinguistics in psychology.

This section summarizes the different historical threads that have given rise to the field of speech and language processing. This section provides only a sketch, but many of the topics listed here are covered in more detail in subsequent chapters. This period from the s through the end of the s saw intense work on two foundational paradigms: the automaton and probabilistic or information-theoretic models.

Shannon applied probabilistic models of discrete Markov processes to automata for language. These early models led to the field of formal language theory, which used algebra and set theory to define formal languages as sequences of symbols. This includes the context-free grammar, first defined by Chomsky for natural languages but independently discovered by Backus and Naur et al.

Shannon also borrowed the concept of entropy from thermodynamics as a way of measuring the information capacity of a channel, or the information content of a language, and per- formed the first measure of the entropy of English by using probabilistic techniques.

It was also during this early period that the sound spectrograph was developed Koenig et al. This led to the first ma- chine speech recognizers in the early s. In , researchers at Bell Labs built a statistical system that could recognize any of the 10 digits from a single speaker Davis et al.

The system had 10 speaker-dependent stored patterns roughly represent- ing the first two vowel formants in the digits. The symbolic paradigm took off from two lines of research. The first was the work of Chomsky and others on formal language theory and generative syntax throughout the late s and early to mid s, and the work of many linguistics and computer sci- entists on parsing algorithms, initially top-down and bottom-up and then with dynamic programming.

In the summer of John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Claude Shannon, and Nathaniel Rochester brought together a group of researchers for a two-month workshop on what they decided to call artificial intelligence AI. At this point, early natural language understanding systems were built. These simple systems worked in single domains mainly by a combination of pattern matching and keyword search with simple heuristics for reasoning and question-answering.

By the late s, more formal logical systems were developed. The stochastic paradigm took hold mainly in departments of statistics and of elec- trical engineering. By the late s, the Bayesian method was beginning to be applied to the problem of optical character recognition. Bledsoe and Browning built a Bayesian text-recognition that used a large dictionary and computed the likelihood of each observed letter sequence given each word in the dictionary by multiplying the 2 This system was reimplemented recently and is described by Joshi and Hopely and Karttunen , who note that the parser was essentially implemented as a cascade of finite-state transducers.

There is also an extensive bibliography to enable topics of interest to be pursued further. Overall, we believe that the book will give newcomers a solid introduction to the field and it will give existing practitioners a concise review of the principal technologies used in state-of-the-art language and speech processing systems.

Download Lexicon Development For Speech And Language Processing books , This work offers a survey of methods and techniques for structuring, acquiring and maintaining lexical resources for speech and language processing.

The first chapter provides a broad survey of the field of computational lexicography, introducing most of the issues, terms and topics which are addressed in more detail in the rest of the book. The next two chapters focus on the structure and the content of man-made lexicons, concentrating respectively on morpho- syntactic and morpho- phonological information. Both chapters adopt a declarative constraint-based methodology and pay ample attention to the various ways in which lexical generalizations can be formalized and exploited to enhance the consistency and to reduce the redundancy of lexicons.

A complementary perspective is offered in the next two chapters, which present techniques for automatically deriving lexical resources from text corpora.
