Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This volume and the accompanying CD-ROM cover the whole breadth of contemporary finite state language modeling, from the mathematical foundations to developing and debugging specific grammars. In addition to applications developed in the broad frameworks of the Xerox regular expression calculus or the AT&T/Bell Labs system of weighted transducers, finite state methods are shown to be useful in constraint-based or TAG-based systems, for machine translation, for information extraction, and for discourse analysis. The CD includes source code, documentation, and executables for several systems, including a faithful reconstruction of the very first finite state parser from 1959, high performance finite state toolkits, and a strikingly simple implementation of the basic ideas in hidden Markov modeling. The book is intended for students, software engineers, and researchers working in the area of natural language processing or computational linguistics.

Biografía del autor

Steven Bird is Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne, and Senior Research Associate in the Linguistic Data Consortium at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed a PhD on computational phonology at the University of Edinburgh in 1990, supervised by Ewan Klein. He later moved to Cameroon to conduct linguistic fieldwork on the Grassfields Bantu languages under the auspices of the Summer Institute of Linguistics. More recently, he spent several years as Associate Director of the Linguistic Data Consortium where he led an R&D team to create models and tools for large databases of annotated text. At Melbourne University, he established a language technology research group and has taught at all levels of the undergraduate computer science curriculum. In 2009, Steven is President of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

Martin Kay is professor of linguistics at Stanford University and an honorary professor at the University of Saarland, Germany. He is a past president of the Association for the Computational Linguistics and resigned the chairmanship of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics in 2014, having served in that capacity for thirty years.

David McDonald is professor of global development studies at Queen s University, Canada. He is also co-director of the Municipal Services Project, a research initiative exploring alternatives to the privatization of service provision in electricity, health, water, and sanitation in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Yorick Wilks is Professor of... in the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield
