Más información sobre el libro

Der Band thematisiert die Technologie zur Entwicklung natürlichsprachlicher Systeme unter eine Reihe verschiedener, komplementärer Perspektiven. Neben grundlagenorientierten Aspekten der Systemarchitektur, der Semantik sowie der Rolle der natürlichen Sprache als ein Kommunikationsmittel in multi-modalen Zugangssystemen werden Fragen diskutiert. Eine Reihe von Anwendungsstudien sowie ein Ausblick auf die zukünftige Rolle einer "Sprachtechnologie" stellen den Bezug zum heute praktisch Machbaren und in Zukunft Erwartbaren her.The volume focusses on the technology for building natural language unter different complementary perspectives. Besides the foundational aspect concerning system architecture, semantics and the role of natural language in multi-modal interfaces questions of a methodology for constructing and evaluating natural language systems are discussed. A number of applicational studies together with an outlook on the expected impact of a "language technology" provides a view on today's practical state of art and on its future impact.
