Computational Lexicography for Natural Language Processing

More about the book

Computational linguistics is one of the fastest growing subjects in linguistics and one of the leading databases in this field is the "Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English". This text presents a survey of work carried out on this database by an international selection of university groups. The techniques it describes and the conclusions it draws should be of relevance to anyone studying computational linguistics. These include students, researchers and scholars in institutions of higher education on computational and theoretical linguistics courses%3B those studying artificial intelligence and natural language processing who need an introduction to computational lexicography%3B and researchers in lexicography.
