3 Toward an education and learning support environment 3-1 New horizons in computational linguistics

摘要

This paper provides an overview of the activities of the Computational Linguistics Group of the Communications Research Laboratory of Japan. We will focus on the following top- ics: research on natural language processing, fundamental research on natural language, development of practical systems, and collaboration with other research organizations. As for research to natural language processing, we are conducting research on natural lan- guage processing using learning-mechanism and neural-network models. As for fundamen- tal research on natural language, our research includes lexical semantics, representations of emotion, and a dialogue model with three participants.
