Evaluating Natural Language Processing Systems

by J.R. Galliers, K. Sparck Jones , 1993
"... This report presents a detailed analysis and review of NLP evaluation, in principle and in practice. Part 1 examines evaluation concepts and establishes a framework for NLP system evaluation. This makes use of experience in the related area of information retrieval and the analysis also refers to ev ..."

to evaluation in speech processing. Part 2 surveys significant evaluation work done so far, for instance in machine translation, and discusses the particular problems of generic system evaluation. The conclusion is that evaluation strategies and techniques for NLP need much more development, in particular

A broad-coverage natural language processing system

by Carol Friedman - Proc AMIA Symp , 2000
"... Natural language processing systems (NLP) that extract clinical information from textual reports were shown to be effective for limited domains and for particular applications. Because an NLP system typically requires substantial resources to develop, it is beneficial if it is designed to be easily ..."

Towards Context-adaptive Natural Language Processing Systems

by Robert Porzel, Michael Strube - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM: DIVERGENCE OR...
"... In this paper we will discuss several issues and requirements for enabling natural language processing systems to become context-adaptive. Given the fact that emerging systems feature speaker independent continuous speech recognition restricted to individual domains and are equipped with syntactic a ..."

Workshop on the Evaluation of Natural Language Processing Systems

by Martha S. Palmer, Tim Finin - Computational Linguistics , 1990
"... In the past few years, the computational linguistics research community has begun to wrestle with the problem of howtoevaluate its progress in developing natural language processing systems. With the exception of natural language interfaces there are few working systems in existence, and they tend t ..."

Interfacing Acoustic Models With Natural Language Processing Systems

by Michael T. Johnson, Mary P. Harper, Leah H. Jamieson - In Proc. ICSLP '98 , 1998
"... The research presented here focuses on implementation and efficiency issues associated with the use of word graphs for interfacing acoustic speech recognition systems with natural language processing systems. The effectiveness of various pruning methods for graph construction is examined, as well as ..."

Domain Adaptation of Natural Language Processing Systems

by John Blitzer, Fernando Pereira, Rajeev Alur , 2007
"... My first thanks must go to Fernando Pereira. He was a wonderful advisor, and every aspect of this thesis has benefitted from his insight. At times I was a difficult, even unruly graduate student, and Fernando had patience with all my ideas, whether good or bad. What I’ll miss most, though, is the qu ..."

excuse to interrupt his workday with new, ostensibly-thesis-related machine learning ideas. Mark Liberman and Mitch Marcus brought a much-needed linguistic perspective to a thesis on language, and many of the techniques described are based on work by Tong Zhang, who kindly served as my external committee

An Historical Overview of Natural Language Processing Systems That Learn

by Robin Collier, Gb- S Dp , 1994
"... : A fundamental issue in natural language processing is the prerequisite of an enormous quantity of preprogrammed knowledge concerning both the language and the domain under examination. Manual acquisition of this knowledge is tedious and error prone. Development of an automated acquisition process ..."

process would prove invaluable. This paper references and overviews a range of the systems that have been developed in the domain of machine learning and natural language processing. Each system is categorised into either a symbolic or connectionist paradigm, and has its own characteristics

Abstract Connecting Wikis and Natural Language Processing Systems

by unknown authors
"... We investigate the integration of Wiki systems with automated natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The vision is that of a “self-aware ” Wiki system reading, understanding, transforming, and writing its own content, as well as supporting its users in information analysis and content develop ..."

In the Microsoft Natural Language Processing System (MSNLP), grammar

by Michael Gamon, Carmen Lozano, Jessie Pinkham, Tom Reutter, Sharing Between English, Ken Felder, Karen Jensen, Martine Penenaro
"... and German has been an important means for speeding up the development time for the latter grammars. Despite significant typological differences between these languages, a mature English grammar was taken as the starting point for each of the other three grarnmars. In each case, through a combinatio ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
broad-coverage multilingual NLP system such as the one currently being developed at Microsoft Research faces the challenge of parallel grammar development in multiple languages (currently English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). This development is by nature a very complex
