摘要

The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) is described as it applies to the needs of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in handling free-text. The state of the practice is outlined with the emphasis placed on two specific aspects of NLP: Information Extraction and Discourse Integration. A brief description is included of the NLP applications currently being used at LLNL. A gap analysis provides a look at where the technology needs work in order to meet the needs of LLNL. Finally, recommendations are made to meet these needs.
