Fellow DHCS members,
The next meeting of the Digital Humanities Curriculum Seminar will
feature a discussion of Natural Language Processing.
Among the most influential books in the field of NLP are these three:
Allen, James. *Natural Language Understanding*. Redwood City, CA:
Benjamin/Cummings, 1995.
Jurafsky, Daniel and James H. Martin. *Speech and Language
Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing,
Computational Linguistics, and Speech Recognition*. Upper Saddle
River, NJ: Prentice, 2000.
Manning, Christopher D. and Hinrich Schutze. *Foundations of
Statistical Natural Language Processing*. Cambridge: MIT P, 2001.
I have selected two chapters for our meeting: the
introductions from Manning and Schutze and Jurafsky and Martin.
There is some redundancy between the two, but they raise all the
issues I'll be proposing for discussion. We've been talking about the
ways in which different forms of computerized knowledge
representation place us (and our students) into an engaging critical
position with that knowledge. I'd like to talk about the ways NLP
puts us in that relationship with language itself.
The readings are in PDF on the toolkit site:
http://toolkit.virginia.edu/cgi-local/tk/UVa_UNKN_2002_Spring_UNKN16-1/displaymaterials
under jurafsky and manning. (Please note that the first one is
jurafsky, not jarrausch).
I look forward to seeing you all at the meeting next Wednesday.
Your Co-Undersecretary for Coordination,
Steve
