This paper describes, compares, and evaluates three different approaches for learning a semantic classification of library titles: 1) syntactically condensed titles, 2) complete titles, and 3) titles without insignificant words are used for learning the ...

The paper describes models for representation and method to handle lexicographic structures supplied by the MORPHO-2 system It was built to manage monolingual lexicons and to incorporate lexical processing.

A distributed approach to spoken dialogue management for real-time telephone information systems is outlined.

We describe a tool for the development and verification of broad-coverage grammars that are to be used for both analysis and generation, Such a tool is used to ensure that the coverage of the grammar is sufficient (in logical terms the completeness of ...

This paper reports on the SPOKESMAN natural language generation system, which is a domain independent text generator designed to incrementally produce text for an underlying application program. This work is a direct outgrowth of the work we reported on ...

Morphé is a Common Lisp compiler for reversible inflectional morphology rules developed at the Center for Machine Translation at Carnegie Mellon University. This paper describes the Morphé processing model, its implementation, and how it handles some ...

This paper briefly describes the current implementation status of an intelligent information retrieval system, MARIE, that employs natural language processing techniques. Descriptive captions are used to identify photographic images concerning various ...

We describe a workbench (XTAG) for the development of tree-adjoining grammars and their parsers, and discuss some issues that arise in the design of the graphical interface.Contrary to string rewriting grammars generating trees, the elementary objects ...

This paper describes an approach to the treatment of nominal compounds in a machine translation project employing a modern unification-based system.General problems connected with the analysis of compounds are briefly reviewed, and the project, for the ...

A method of anaphoral resolution of zero pronouns in Japanese language texts using the verbal semantic attributes is suggested. This method focuses attention on the semantic attributes of verbs and examines the context from the relationship between the ...

We present an efficient algorithm for chart-based phrase structure parsing of natural language that is tailored to the problem of extracting specific information from unrestricted texts where many of the words are unknown and much of the text is ...

It is often assumed that when natural language processing meets the real world, the ideal of aiming for complete and correct interpretations has to be abandoned. However, our experience with TACITUS; especially in the MUC-3 evaluation, has shown that ...
