Natural Language Engineering and Web Applications

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 05:20:44 GMT

The aim of research in Natural Language Engineering (NLE) is to endow computer systems with the ability to process natural language. This ability is essential for applications such as information retrieval and web search, information extraction and data mining, text summarization, and speech technology. NLE techniques for morphological analysis , part-of-speech tagging, word prediction, or term extraction are already in use in real-world applications in these a reas, and the technology required for applications such as news summarization or spoken dialogue systems (e.g., systems that can engage in a dialogue with customers to give information about train timetables) is already at a very advanced state of development.
