The problem with proper nouns
0 Reactie(s)
zaterdag 19 mei 2012 09:32 Before a sentence is passed to the parser, it is first run through the lexer. The lexer divides the sentence into words or word groups. These are called lexical items and they are the smallest parts of the sentence that have a single part-of-speech. Most lexical items can be looked up in the lexicon. But what about proper nouns? lees verder

Answering questions by means of Natural Language Processing
2 Reactie(s)
zaterdag 28 april 2012 13:42 In the past year I have been working on a framework to allow users to interact with a knowledge base through written natural language. The goal is to provide a simple library that allows you to ask a question in plain english (or some other language) and receive a complete sentence for an answer. I do this in the sparse hours of free time that I have, so the project is a long way from being finished. However, I have now reached the point where the program can make a full round-trip from question to answer for a single question. This is a good moment to write about the choices I made and to explain the process. lees verder

Auxiliaries

zondag 18 maart 2012 10:48 When I add production rules I only create the ones I really need for the moment. However, I want to create them in such a way that future extensions will be easy to make. So I decided to make a little study of the structure of auxiliaries. The table below is the result of that. lees verder

Implementation of an Earley parser with unification
0 Reactie(s)
maandag 05 december 2011 20:50 I just completed a PHP implementation of the Earley parser, extended with unification, that is described in the book "Speech and Language Processing" by Jurafsky and Martin. I thought it might be a good idea to share my code since it took me quite some time and effort to create it and, what's more important, I could not find any other implementation of it on the internet. lees verder

Semantic analysis: predicates and arguments
0 Reactie(s)
dinsdag 06 september 2011 20:17 One of the things that is needed for the semantic analysis of a sentence is the extraction of its predicates and their arguments. When I was trying to find out how to do this, I came by several linguistic techniques that are involved in this task. I thought it might be interesting for you to see what's available in this field. It was certainly interesting to me and it even made me understand some of the stuff that always troubled me in high school :) lees verder

Review: Les enfants de la salamandre
0 Reactie(s)
zaterdag 20 augustus 2011 19:20 I read these three comic book albums some 20 years ago. They are absolutely fantastic. They contain very passionate and violent images, combined with some scenes of kindness and affection that stand out by comparison. Esotheric and biblical elements are located in the roughness of southwesternern USA.
The story is based very strongly on a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke and gives it a completely new dimension. The same is done with a song of Laurie Anderson. These techniques are woven into the story so naturally that it awakens a strong sense of fascination.
What I will do here is analyze the work as much as my limited mind can handle and add some links to informational places on the internet. lees verder
