Abstract Funding for AI start-ups in general is booming, and natural language processing as a subfield has not missed out. We take closer look at early-stage funding over the last year—just US$1B total—for companies that offer solutions are based on or make significant use of NLP, providing picture what funders think innovative bankable this space, we some observations notable trends developmen...

With an eye to increased efficiency, agent communication language (ACL) designers have heeded the analogy with natural language and introduced elements from natural language pragmatics (NLP) into their designs. However, ACL pragmatics has not availed itself of NLP advances to the extent that it could. While a few aspects of pragmatics are incorporated, most notably speech acts, their inclusion ...

Through Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, information can be extracted from clinical narratives for a variety of applications (e.g., patient management). While the complex and nested output of NLP systems can be expressed in standard formats, such as the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), these representations may not be directly suitable for certain end-users or applications. The av...

Natural language processing (NLP) has recently gained much attention for representing and analysing human language computationally. It has spread its applications in various fields such as machine translation, email spam detection, information extraction, summarization, medical, and question answering etc. The paper distinguishes four phases by discussing different levels of NLP and components ...

Natural Language Processing holds great promise for making computer interfaces that are easier to use for people, since people will (hopefully) be able to talk to the computer in their own language, rather than learn a specialized language of computer commands. For programming, however, the necessity of a formal programming language for communicating with a computer has always been taken for gr...

The NLP SPECIALIST Lexicon and Lexical Tools, distributed by National Library of Medicine (NLM), have been released in Unicode (UTF-8) format since 2006. Lexicon is used as corpus while Lexical Tools are used as software packages in NLP (Natural Language Processing) projects. Some NLP projects still only deal with ASCII (7-bit) characters. This paper describes how to convert UTF-8 Lexicon and i...

The shift from Computational Linguistics to Language Engineering is indicative of new trends in NLP. This paper reviews two NLP engineering problems: reuse and integration, while relating these concerns to the larger context of applied NLP. It presents a software architecture which is geared to support the development of a variety of large-scale NLP applications: Information Retrieval, Corpus P...

Although Caenorhabditis elegans has been utilized extensively to study synapse formation and function, relatively little is known about synaptic plasticity in C. elegans. We show that a brief treatment with the cholinesterase inhibitor aldicarb induces a form of presynaptic potentiation whereby ACh release at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) is doubled. Aldicarb-induced potentiation was eliminate...
