Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Finite-state devices, which include finite-state automata, graphs, and finite-state transducers, are in wide use in many areas of computer science. Recently, there has been a resurgence of the use of finite-state devices in all aspects of computational linguistics, including dictionary encoding, text processing, and speech processing. This book describes the fundamental properties of finite-state devices and illustrates their uses. Many of the contributors pioneered the use of finite-automata for different aspects of natural language processing. The topics, which range from the theoretical to the applied, include finite-state morphology, approximation of phrase-structure grammars, deterministic part-of-speech tagging, application of a finite-state intersection grammar, a finite-state transducer for extracting information from text, and speech recognition using weighted finite automata. The introduction presents the basic theoretical results in finite-state automata and transducers. These results and algorithms are described and illustrated with simple formal language examples as well as natural language examples.Contributors : Douglas Appelt, John Bear, David Clemenceau, Maurice Gross, Jerry R.

"Emmanuel Roche and Yves Schabes have put together a picture of thestate of the art in using finite-state techniques in computationallinguistics. The contributing authors comprise an impressivecollection--essentially the originating sources for much of theimportant recent work in this area."
