Computational Lexicography for Natural Language Processing
(Computational linguistics is one of the fastest growing s...)
Computational linguistics is one of the fastest growing subjects in linguistics and one of the leading databases in this field is the "Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English". This text presents a survey of work carried out on this database by an international selection of university groups. The techniques it describes and the conclusions it draws should be of relevance to anyone studying computational linguistics. These include students, researchers and scholars in institutions of higher education on computational and theoretical linguistics courses%3B those studying artificial intelligence and natural language processing who need an introduction to computational lexicography%3B and researchers in lexicography.

Corpus Processing for Lexical Acquisition (Language, Speech, and Communication)
(The lexicon has emerged from the study of computational l...)
The lexicon has emerged from the study of computational linguistics as a fundamental resource that enables a variety of linguistic processes to operate in the course of tasks ranging from language analysis and text processing to machine translation. Lexicon acquisition, therefore, plays an essential part in getting any natural language processing system to function in the real world. Computers that process natural language require a variety of lexical information in addition to what can be found in standard dictionaries. Moreover, machine-readable dictionaries of the conventional sort have been found to be inadequate for fully supporting realistic natural language processing tasks. This volume describes corpus processing techniques that can be used to extract the additional lexical information required. Bringing together a balanced blend of the theoretical and practical, the contributions provide the most recent look at lexical acquisition techniques and practices. These include coping with unknown lexicalizations, task-driven lexical induction, categorization of lexical units, lexical semantics from corpus analysis, and measuring lexical acquisition. The problems addressed reflect a host of topics including recognition of open compounds, incremental acquisition of meanings from sentence usages, recognition of new senses of existing words, sense disambiguation, recognition of specific classes of works, and recognition and annotation of patterns of word use, each of them important to the overall language analysis process, and each employing text analysis techniques in a useful and theoretically motivated way. Language, Speech, and Communication series.

Lexical Semantics: The Problem of Polysemy
(Lexical ambiguity presents one of the most intractable pr...)
Lexical ambiguity presents one of the most intractable problems for language processing studies and, not surprisingly, it is at the core of research in lexical semantics. Originally published as two special issues of the Journal of Semantics, this collection focuses on the problem of polysemy, from the point of view of practitioners of computational linguistics.
