Automatic compilation of the linking relation employed in certain parsing algorithms for context-free languages is examined. Special problems arise in the extension of these algor...
Porting a Natural Language Processing (NLP) system to a new domain remains one of the bottlenecks in syntactic parsing, because of the amount of effort required to fix gaps in the...
We describe an approach to training a statistical parser from a bracketed corpus, and demonstrate its use in a software testing application that translates English speci cations i...
We report on the initial stages of development of a robust parsing system, to be used as part of The Editor's Assistant, a program that detects and corrects textual errors an...
We describe a method and its implementation for self-monitoring during natural language generation. In situations of communication where the generation of ambiguous utterances sho...
