Some of the most vexing natural-language problems that are addressed in this book entail   recognizing and processing idiomatic expressions, understanding metaphors, matching an anaphor correctly with its antecedent, performing word-sense disambiguation, and handling out-of-vocabulary words and phrases. This fourteen-chapter anthology consists of contributions from industry scientists and from academicians working at major universities in North America and Europe. They include researchers who have played a central role in DARPA-funded programs and developers who craft real-world solutions for corporations. These contributing authors analyze the role of natural language technology in the global marketplace; they explore the need for natural language mapping-tools that can cull important data from the vast array of social-media postings; they describe innovative Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods and applications; and they offer NLP tools for physicians, educators, and translators.  Their contributions constitute diverse and multifaceted solutions for the knotty natural-language problems that permeate everyday human communications. Where Humans Meet Machines: Innovative Solutions for Knotty Natural-Language Problems is designed for speech engineers, system developers, computer scientists, AI researchers, and others interested in utilizing natural-language technology in both spoken and text-based applications. . 606 $aNatural language processing (Computer science) 606 $aComputational linguistics 615 0$aNatural language processing (Computer science) 615 0$aComputational linguistics. 676 $a006.3 676 $a006.35 701 $aNeustein$b Amy$01380473 701 $aMarkowitz$b Judith A$01749922 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437903903321 996 $aWhere humans meet machines$94184383 997 $aUNINA
