Natural Language Applications and Technologies

  • Conference paper

  • 116 Accesses

Part of the book series: Informatik Fachberichte ((INFORMATIK,volume 108))

Abstract

Every technical field can be characterized in at least two ways: (1) by the various applications accomplished in that field and (2) by the underlying technologies implementing these applications. It is equally true that new applications depend new technologies or extension of old ones. The purpose of this paper is to show how this thinking can be productively applied to the field of NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING. My hope is that the discussions of language applications, language technologies, and their interrelationships, will make practical systems in this area appear more promising and achievable than they might have been previously.
