Speech and Language Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, and Speech RecognitionFor undergraduate or advanced undergraduate courses in Classical Natural Language Processing, Statistical Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, Computational Linguistics, and Human Language Processing.
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 text takes an empirical approach to the subject, based on applying statistical and other machine-learning algorithms to large corporations. The authors cover areas that traditionally are taught in different courses, to describe a unified vision of speech and language processing. Emphasis is on practical applications and scientific evaluation. An accompanying Website contains teaching materials for instructors, with pointers to language processing resources on the Web. The Second Edition offers a significant amount of new and extended material.

... Treebanks. Treebank Penn Treebank Context-free grammar rules of the type that we have explored so far in this chapter can in principle be used to assign a parse tree to any sentence. This means that it is possible to build a corpus in ...
... treebank grammars , such as their large numbers of flat rules , pose problems for probabilistic parsing algorithms . For this reason , it is common to make various modifications to a grammar extracted from a treebank . We discuss ...
... Treebank (or against another parser that produces Treebank format), we need to map the output parses into Treebank format. A related problem is that constituency may not be the level we care the most about. We might be more interested ...
