Survey of the state of the art in human language technology

Originally published in 1997, this book is concerned with human language technology. This technology provides computers with the capability to handle spoken and written language. One major goal is to improve communication between humans and machines. If people can use their own language to access information, working with software applications and controlling machinery, the greatest obstacle for the acceptance of new information technology is overcome. Another important goal is to facilitate communication among people. Machines can help totranslate texts or spoken input from one human language to the other. Programs that assist people in writing by checking orthography, grammar and style areconstantly improving. This book was sponsored by the Directorate General XIIIof the European Union and the Information Science and Engineering Directorateof the National Science Foundation, USA. INDICE: 1.
