Springer 2006; US$ 119.99Addresses attitude, affect, and subjective opinion. This book presents various conceptual models and computational methods, including distinguishing attitudes from simple factual assertions, distinguishing between the author's reports from reports of other people's opinions, and distinguishing between explicitly and implicitly stated attitudes. more...
Natural Language Processing for Online Applications
John Benjamins Publishing Company 2007; US$ 158.00This text covers the technologies of document retrieval, information extraction, and text categorization in a way which highlights commonalities in terms of both general principles and practical concerns. It assumes some mathematical background on the part of the reader, but the chapters typically begin with a non-mathematical account of the key issues.... more...
Towards a Multifunctional Lexical Resource
De Gruyter 2012; US$ 126.00How can lexical data be represented such that they can serve to satisfy the needs of different types of dictionary users in different usage situations? Starting from a function-theoretic notion of lexicography, this book tries to answer this question by exploring the use of semantic web formalisms to approach both general and specific issues in modelling... more...

Linguistic Structure Prediction
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2011; US$ 60.00A major part of natural language processing now depends on the use of text data to build linguistic analyzers. We consider statistical, computational approaches to modeling linguistic structure. We seek to unify across many approaches and many kinds of linguistic structures. Assuming a basic understanding of natural language processing and/or machine... more...
Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive Dialogue Systems
Springer 2011; US$ 79.99The past decade has seen a revolution in the field of spoken dialogue systems. As in other areas of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, data-driven methods are now being used to drive new methodologies for system development and evaluation. This book is a unique contribution to that ongoing change. A new methodology for developing spoken... more...
