Publisher Marketing: Natural Language Processing (NLP), hitherto a largely academic discipline, has found itself at the centre of an information revolution ushered in by the Internet age, as demand for human-computer communication and information access has exploded. Emerging applications in computer-assisted information production and dissemination, automated understanding of news, understanding of spoken language, and processing of foreign languages have given impetus to research that has resulted in a new generation of robust tools, systems, and commercial products.
