TUTORIALS
18 June 1991
NATURAL LANGUAGE GENERATION
Kathleen McCoy, University of Delaware
Johanna Moore, University of Pittsburgh
The ability to generate natural language utterances is an important
component of many intelligent systems (expert systems, intelligent
tutoring systems, advice-giving systems). This tutorial will
provide an in-depth survey of the branch of computational linguistics
known as natural language generation. Most of the work in natural
language processing has concentrated on understanding text. Instead,
we look at the problems involved in generating text. Generation
brings up issues not apparent in understanding. The task of an
understander is to recognize which choice has been taken. In
contrast, a generator must decide why to make one choice over
another. Considering generation forces the researcher to come to
terms with issues concerning what kind of information must be
available to the generation component, where that information may
be obtained, and how information should be presented to different
users in different situations. In this tutorial we concentrate on
a portion of the generation process known as text planning,
which is responsible for deciding what is to be said and how it is
to be structured. We look at how the content of a text can be
chosen (including topics in user modeling and text planning
formalisms) and how texts should be structured in a coherent fashion
(including topics on text structure and coherence, pragmatics,
focus of attention).
INTONATION IN SPOKEN LANGUAGE SYSTEMS
Julia Hirschberg, AT&T Bell Laboratories
Current interest in spoken language systems has focused attention on
potential interfaces between traditional concerns of Natural Language
Processing with syntactic, semantic and discourse/pragmatics
representation and analysis -- and traditional concerns of speech
scientists and engineers with speech recognition and synthesis. One
area of mutual interest is intonational variation. How do
intonational features such as phrasing and prominence interact with
syntactic, semantic and discourse factors to shape the overall
`meaning' of an utterance? (Can parsers be designed to parse
intonational features along with lexical items? Can intonation
disambiguate among possible semantic interpretations of a sentence?)
How can knowledge of intonational regularities improve speech
recognition techniques and provide more natural-sounding synthetic
speech? (Can intonational information be incorporated into
recognition hypotheses? Can likely intonational features be reliably
predicted from text to approximate human intonation in synthetic
speech?) This tutorial will survey (a) current empirical and
theoretical research on the contribution of intonation to utterance
interpretation, (b) methods of prosodic analysis from speech corpora,
(c) alternative approaches to intonational description and
representation, and (d) current and potential applications to speech
generation systems, text-to-speech systems and speech recognition.
The tutorial will be extensively illustrated with examples from
natural and synthetic speech.
COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS METHODOLOGIES FOR HUMANITIES COMPUTING
Nancy M. Ide, Vassar College
Recently, panels and sessions at COLING, and conferences of the
Association for Computational Linguistics, the Association for
Computers and the Humanities, and the Association for Literary and
Linguistic Computing have addressed the increasing merging of
methodologies in the fields of computational linguistics and
humanities computing. On the one hand, computational linguists are
devoting considerable attention to statistical and other quantitative
measures traditionally used in humanities computing. Also, work
with large text corpora, long the central activity in humanities
computing, is becoming an important area for computational linguistics.
Computational linguists are now beginning to consider texts, and
even literary texts, as an object of study and a rich source of
information about the phenomena of language and discourse. On the
other hand, humanists are turning to methods for morphological,
syntactic, and semantic analysis developed by computational linguists
to enhance their strategies for literary and linguistic studies.
This tutorial will describe work which falls at the intersection
of the fields of computational linguistics and humanities computing,
either in methodology or use of materials, and show how these
methods and materials benefit both disciplines. In particular, work
in the areas of computational lexicology and lexicography, corpora
and corpus linguistics, statistical models and methods for language
and text analysis, and content analysis will be considered.
MACHINE TRANSLATION: AN IN-DEPTH TUTORIAL
Jaime Carbonell, Carnegie Mellon University
Yorick Wilks, New Mexico State University
Machine Translation (MT) is the area of computational linguistics
with the longest history and with the largest volume of dedicated
R&D resources on the global scene. After reviewing the primary
objectives and accomplishments of MT in its 40-year history, the
major MT paradigms will be presented in some detail, including
sytactic transfer, semantic transfer, and interlingua-based
approaches. Then, we will discuss the appropriateness of these
methods to different application areas, including technical vs
nontechnical text, specialized domains vs general text, multilingual
vs bilingual requirements, spontaneous discourse vs prepared text,
and full-translation vs text scanning vs fact extraction. We will
also touch upon evaluation of MT systems and recent developments
in MT such the remergence of statistical approaches, making
knowledge-based interlingual MT systems practical, and the integration
of MT with other technologies such as document production, optical
character recognition, and speech understanding.
PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
LEXICAL SEMANTICS AND KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION, 17 June 1991
Sponsored by the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon (SIGLEX)
The recent resurgence of interest in lexical semantics (LS) has
brought many linguistic formalisms closer to the knowledge
representation (KR) languages utilized in AI. In fact, some formalisms
from computational linguistics are emerging which may be more
expressive and formally better understood than many KR languages.
Furthermore, the interests of computational linguists now extend
to include areas previously thought beyond the scope of grammar
and linguistics, such as commonsense knowledge, inheritance, default
reasoning, collocational relations, and even domain knowledge.
With such an extension of the purview of ``linguistic'' knowledge, the
question emerges as to whether there is any logical justification for
distinguishing between lexical semantics and world knowledge. The
purpose of this workshop is to explore this question in detail, with
papers addressing the following points:
Possible methods for determining what is lexical knowledge and what is
outside the scope of such knowledge.
Potential demonstrations that the inferences necessary for language
understanding are no different from supposed non-linguistic inferences.
Arguments from language acquisition and general concept development.
Cross-linguistic evidence for the specificity of lexical semantic
representations.
Philosophical arguments for the (impossibility of the) autonomy of lexical
knowledge.
Theoretical approaches and implemented systems that combine lexical
and non-lexical knowledge.
Attendance is limited to invited participants who responded to the Call for
Papers.

REVERSIBLE GRAMMAR IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING, 17 June 1991
Sponsored by the Special Interest Groups on Generation (SIGGEN) and Parsing
(SIGPARSE)
Supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers whose
work concerns problems of reversible grammar systems that are designed
for, or may find applications in, Natural Language Processing.
The following topics will be considered:
(1) Reversible computation (multi-directional and non-directional computation;
algorithms for program inversion and transformation; efficiency issues);
(2) Reversible natural language systems (parsers and generators for reversible
grammars; reversibility of unification-based grammars; new architectures
for reversible natural language processing; knowledge representation
issues; reversible machine translation; lexicons for bidirectional
systems; reversibility in discourse processing);
(3) Reversible grammars in linguistic theory (formal characterization;
reversibility within various grammatical frameworks, eg., GB, LFG, GPSG,
HPSG, TAG, categorial grammars; reversibility in rule-based and
principle-based approaches; reversibility and semantic compositionality).
Attendance is limited to invited participants who responded to the Call for
Papers.

EVALUATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS, 18 June 1991
Supported by Rome Laboratory
The evaluation of NLP systems is essential in order to measure
the capabilities of individual systems, to measure technical progress
and growth in the field, and to provide a basis for selecting NLP
systems to best fit the communication requirements of application
domain systems. Important issues for any evaluation effort and
relevant to this workshop include identification of the items or
capabilities to be evaluated, choosing between ``black box'' and
``glass box'' approaches, definition of evaluation criteria,
development of methods or procedures for evaluation, determination
of evaluation metrics, and determination of the type of output to
be produced by the evaluation procedures. The areas of NLP relevant
for this workshop include syntactic analysis, semantic analyisis,
pragmatic analysis, lexical processing, morphology, sharable
knowledge bases and ontologies, speech understanding, and trainable
systems.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for computational
linguists to report on and discuss current efforts and activities,
research progress, new approaches, problems and issues; to promote
scientific interchange on important evaluation issues; and to
generate recommendations and directions for future investigations
in the evaluation area.
Attendance is limited to invited participants who responded to the
Call for Participation.
