Ralph Weischedel
Ralph Weischedel coauthored BBN’s report on natural language processing in the Strategic Computing Program. Weischedel’s Adaptive Natural Language Processing report examines new words, fragmentary language and input errors. Its approach uses annotated corpora, knowledge bases and statistical language models to rank interpretations. The report describes pilot experiments on sentence interpretation and part-of-speech prediction, including unknown words. It also examines learning word properties from examples and identifies further work on partial interpretations.
