BIBLIOGRAPHICAL DATABASE
For the last 15 years, we have been compiling a bibliographical
database on all aspects of computer processing of natural language
communications. The bibliography, which now holds more than
67,000 references, is indexed with a thesaurus of over 3,400 keywords.
More than 13,000 titles are related to artificial intelligence.
The references cover the period beginning with the inception
of the computer to the present and include theses, research reports,
books, articles from specialized periodicals, papers in conference
proceedings, etc. The entries were obtained mostly by systematically
scanning more than 400 periodicals and 800 conference proceedings.
Some of the thematic sections of the database are near
completion and will be published in print in the coming months.
Each thematic volume will have a two-level analytical index.
Many researchers collaborated by sending us their lists of
publications. All others who are interested are invited to do so.
In the list that follows, the numbers refer to the approximate
number of entries of some of the subsections of the database.
