| Description: |
A theoretically motivated foundation for semantic interpretation by computer, showing how this framework helps resolve lexical and syntactic ambiguities. The approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on research in computational linguistics, AI, Montague semantics, and cognitive psychology. |
| Synopsis: |
Semantic interpretation and the resolution of ambiguity presents an important advance in computer understanding of natural language. While parsing techniques have been greatly improved in recent years, the approach to semantics has generally improved in recent years, the approach to semantics has generally been ad hoc and had little theoretical basis. Graeme Hirst offers a new, theoretically motivated foundation for conceptual analysis by computer, and shows how this framework facilitates the resolution of lexical and syntactic ambiguities. His approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on research in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, montague semantics, and cognitive psychology. |
