Speech and Language Processing (2nd Edition)
Sun, 12/26/2010 - 12:00am
An explosion of Web-based language techniques, merging of distinct fields, availability of phone-based dialogue systems, and much more make this an exciting time in speech and language processing. The first of its kind to thoroughly cover language technology – at all levels and with all modern technologies – this book takes an empirical approach to the subject, based on applying statistical and other machine-learning algorithms to large corporations.
Introduction to Information Retrieval [Hardcover]
Sun, 12/26/2010 - 12:00am
Class-tested and coherent, this groundbreaking new textbook teaches web-era information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. Written from a computer science perspective by three leading experts in the field, it gives an up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections.

CLARION Project Home Page
CLARION is a project investigating fundamental structures of the human mind. In particular, it aims to explore the interaction of implicit and explicit cognition, emphasizing bottom-up learning (i.e., learning that involves acquiring first implicit knwoledge and then acquiring explicit knowledge on its basis). The project is aimed at the synthesis of many interesting intellectual ideas into a coherent model of cognition.

SRILM - The SRI Language Modeling Toolkit
SRILM is a toolkit for building and applying statistical language models (LMs), primarily for use in speech recognition, statistical tagging and segmentation, and machine translation. It has been under development in the SRI Speech Technology and Research Laboratory since 1995. The toolkit has also greatly benefitted from its use and enhancements during the Johns Hopkins University/CLSP summer workshops in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2002 (see history).

Engkoo
Microsoft researchers are using data mined from the Internet to develop Engkoo, an online Chinese-to-English dictionary and language-practice service. The technology could be used in similar tools to learn any language. Engkoo has a core of translation data drawn from Microsoft-licensed dictionaries. That content is mixed with data from Web sites with parallel Chinese and English versions. When an Engkoo user types a word or sentence into the Web site's input bar, in either Chinese or English, the site draws on statistics from its data to translate it.

TextRunner Search
University of Washington researchers have developed an automated information extraction software engine that mines meaning out of more than 500 million Web pages, contributed by Google, by analyzing fundamental relationships between words. The project expands the scale of the TextRunner application in terms of the number of pages and the breadth of topics it can examine.

SMART - Statistical Multilingual Analysis for Retrieval and Translation
European researchers working on the Statistical Multilingual Analysis for Retrieval and Translation (SMART) project have developed technology that will enable machine translation using statistical analysis. SMART researchers were inspired by the Pascal Network of Excellence, which sought to develop cooperative ties among Europe's leaders in pattern analysis, statistical modeling, and computational learning.

Visual Dictionary of English - Teaching computers to recognize objects
We present a visualization of all the nouns in the English language arranged by semantic meaning. Each of the tiles in the mosaic is an arithmetic average of images relating to one of 53,464 nouns. The images for each word were obtained using Google's Image Search and other engines. A total of 7,527,697 images were used, each tile being the average of 140 images. The average reveals the dominant visual characteristics of each word. For some, the average turns out to be a recognizable image; for others the average is a colored blob.

Read the Web"
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers are developing the Never-Ending Language Learning (NELL) system, a computer that can master semantics by learning more like a human. NELL was provided with basic knowledge in various categories and connected to the Web with a mission to teach itself. "For all the advances in computer science, we still don't have a computer that can learn as humans do, cumulatively, over the long term," says CMU professor Tom M. Mitchell.

The aim of the project is study and develop automated reasoning techniques for both offline and online tasks associated with ontologies, either seen in isolation or as a community of interoperating systems, and devise methodologies for the deployment of such techniques, on the one hand in advanced tools supporting ontology design and management, and on the other hand in applications supporting software agents in operating with ontologies.
