Natural language generation is a field within artificial intelligence which looks ahead to the future when machines will communicate complex thoughts to their human users in a natural way Generation systems supply the sophisticated knowledge about natural languages that must come into play when one needs to use wordings that will overpower techniques based only on symbolic string manipulation techniques Topics covered in this volume include discourse theory mechanical translation deliberate writing and revision Natural Language Generation Systems contains contributions by leading researchers in the field Chapters contain details of grammatical treatments and processing seldom reported on outside of full length monographs
This comprehensive stateoftheart book is the first devoted to the important and timely issue of evaluating NLP systems It addresses the whole area of NLP system evaluation including aims and scope problems and methodology The authors provide a wideranging and careful analysis of evaluation concepts reinforced with extensive illustrations they relate systems to their environments and develop a framework for proper evaluation The discussion of principles is completed by a detailed review of practice and strategies in the field covering both systems for specific tasks like translation and core language processors The methodology lessons drawn from the analysis and review are applied in a series of example cases A comprehensive bibliography a subject index and term glossary are included

This volume represents the first attempt in the field of language pedagogy to apply a systems approach to issues in English language education In the literature of language education or more specifically second or foreign language learning and teaching each topic or issue has often been dealt with independently and been treated as an isolated item Taking grammar instruction as an example grammatical items are often taught in a sequential stepbystep manner there has been no âroad mapâ in which the interrelations between the various items are demonstrated This may be one factor that makes it more difficult for students to learn the language organically The topics covered in this volume including language acquisition pedagogical grammar and teacher collaboration are viewed from a holistic perspective In other words language pedagogy is approached as a dynamic system of interrelations In this way âemergent propertiesâ are expected tomanifest This book is recommended for anyone involved in language pedagogy including researchers teachers and teacher trainers as well as learners

NLDB 2005 the 10th International Conference on Applications of Natural L guage to Information Systems was held on June 15â17 2005 at the University of Alicante Spain Since the rst NLDB conference in 1995 the main goal has been to provide a forum to discuss and disseminate research on the integration of natural language resources in information system engineering The development and convergence of computing telecommunications and information systems has already led to a revolution in the way that we work communicate with each other buy goods and use services and even in the way that weentertainandeducate ourselvesThe revolutioncontinuesandoneof its results is that large volumes of information will increasingly be held in a form which is more natural for users than the data presentation formats typical of computer systems of the past Natural language processing NLP is crucial in solving these problems and language technologies will make an indispensable contribution to the success of information systems We hope that NLDB 2005 was a modest contribution to this goal NLDB 2005 contributed to advancing the goals and the high international standing of these conferences largely due to its Program Committee composed of renowned researchers in the eld of natural language processing and inf mation system engineering Papers were reviewed by three reviewers from the Program Committee This clearly contributed to the signicant number of pers submitted95Twentyninewereacceptedasregularpaperswhile18were accepted as short papers

This book is based on contributions to the Seventh European Summer School on Language and Speech Communication that was held at KTH in Stockholm Sweden in July of 1999 under the auspices of the European Language and Speech Network ELSNET The topic of the summer school was Multimodality in Language and Speech Systems MiLaSS The issue of multimodality in interpersonal facetoface communication has been an important research topic for a number of years With the increasing sophistication of computerbased interactive systems using language and speech the topic of multimodal interaction has received renewed interest both in terms of humanhuman interaction and humanmachine interaction Nine lecturers contri buted to the summer school with courses on specialized topics ranging from the technology and science of creating talking faces to humanhuman communication which is mediated by computer for the handicapped Eight of the nine lecturers are represented in this book The summer school attracted more than 60 participants from Europe Asia and North America representing not only graduate students but also senior researchers from both academia and industry
