[comp.object] OOP for NL

dkb@cs.brown.edu (Dilip Barman) (09/09/90)

I am taking a graduate class in natural language processing and have to
do a project of my own design, basically involving parsing and semantic
analysis and action.  I am considering using an OOP approach, since I'm
learning Smalltalk (Smalltalk/V PM).  My teammate is going to use LISP,
but I think we can manage this multi-language project by defining
module interfaces via ASCII text.  I seek advice; is this a good approach?
Right now it isn't clear to me how objects would be used in parsing
and analyzing NL.  Thanks in advance for any comments you can send to me!
