Computing meaning ed. by Harry Bunt ... ; Vol. 4 This book is a collection of papers by leading researchers in computational semantics. It presents a state of the art overview of recent and current research in computational semantics including descriptions of new methods for constructing and improving resources for semantic computation such as WordNet VerbNet and semantically annotated corpora. It also presents new statistical methods in semantic computation such as the application of distributional semantics in the compositional calculation of sentence meanings. Computing the meaning of sentences texts and spoken or texted dialogue is the ultimate challenge in natural language processing and the key to a wide range of exciting applications. The breadth and depth of coverage of this book makes it suitable as a reference and overview of the state of the field for researchers in Computational Linguistics Semantics Computer Science Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence
