Computational Linguistics 1, Exercise 3: sorting tasks, and Georgetown Using the NLP article's grouping: - stemming: morphology - parsing: syntax - tokenization: text and speech - word-sense disambiguation: semantics - machine translation: applications Georgetown as a warning: the NLP article says the 1954 experiment translated more than sixty Russian sentences into English, and its authors predicted machine translation would be solved within a few years; progress was much slower. The Computational linguistics article adds that researchers expected rule-based methods to capture lexicon, morphology, syntax and semantics, and those approaches failed. A demonstration on a small set of sentences did not show the method would scale, which is the lesson of Chapter 9 (a good result on a small test is not a general result). That last connection is my own reading, not stated in either article. Source: Wikipedia, Natural language processing; Computational linguistics.
