Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax (Oxford Surveys in Syntax & Morphology)
Computational Approaches to Morphology and Syntax - Oxford Surveys in Syntax & Morphology Author:Brian Roark, Richard Sproat The book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of morphology, syntax, computational linguistics and natural language processing (NLP). It provides a critical and practical guide to computational techniques for handling morphological and syntactic phenomena, showing how these techniques have been used and modified in practice. — The author... more »s discuss the nature and uses of syntactic parsers and examine the problems and opportunities of parsing algorithms for finite-state, context-free and various context-sensitive grammars. They relate approaches for describing syntax and morphology to formal mechanisms and algorithms, and present well-motivated approaches for augmenting grammars with weights or probabilities.« less
