         In some translation systems parsing is done by computer programs. It is not easy to translate sentences, because of the ambiguities of the human language; so as to create a parsing system, […]

Question answering (QA) is a task which has as the main purpose to answer automatically to questions done in a natural language. In order to do this, a pre-structured database may be used, or in contrast, a collection of natural language documents such as the World Wide Web. The questions asked, which may go from why questions […]

Natural language processing, which has much to do with the field of computational linguistics, is usually considered to be a sub-field of artificial intelligence. NLP, as it is usually called, deals with the interactions between computers and human natural languages. In order to achive this, natural language generation systems are involved, which convert into readable human language, the information […]

Machine translation, sometimes referred to by the abbreviation MT, is a sub-field of computational linguistics that investigates the use of computer software to translate text or speech from one natural language to another. At its basic level, MT performs simple substitution of words in one natural language for words in another. Using corpus techniques, more […]
