Talk the Walk: Robotic NLP vs. Human Sublanguage Acquisition
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper investigates the appropriateness of natural language processing (NLP) in the context of robotassisted navigation for the visually impaired. Several assumptions of corpus-based robotics are examined. It is argued that, in the short term, NLP may be inadequate and, in the long term, it may not be necessary to enable robotic guides to solicit route directions from bystanders. Human sublanguage acquisition is presented as one feasible alternative.

متن کاملSublanguage Analysis Applied to Trouble Tickets
A feasibility study was conducted to determine whether the sublanguage methodology of NLP could analyze and represent the vital information contained in trouble tickets’ ungrammatical text and to explore various knowledge mining approaches to render the data contained in these documents accessible for analysis and prediction. Experiments showed that the linguistic characteristics of trouble tic...
متن کاملFacilitating post-surgical complication detection through sublanguage analysis
Identification of postsurgical complications is the first step towards improving patient safety and health care quality as well as reducing heath care cost. Existing NLP-based approaches for retrieving postsurgical complications are based on search strategies. Here, we conduct a sublanguage analysis study using free text reports available for a cohort of patients with postsurgical complications...
متن کاملLinguistics and Natural Language Processing
Introduction The paper addresses the issue of cooperation between linguistics and natural language processing (NLP), in general, and between linguistics and machine translation (MT), in particular. It focuses on just one direction of such cooperation, namely applications of linguistics to NLP, virtually ignoring for now any possible applications of NLP to linguistics, which can range from provi...
