Computational Linguistics - Discuss the computational criteria for a 'good' Natural Language Process Natural Language Processing is about developing computational methods for modelling natural language. Its ultimate aim can perhaps be seen as getting computers to understand human language, although at present this goal still remains a distant one. The persuit of this elusive goal has, however, led to a number of NLP systems geared towards specific areas of application rather than natural language understanding in the pure sense. The methods employed in each case are to a certain degree tailored to the requirements of a system. We must however remember that they are all dealing with natural language in some form, which makes it possible to identify a core set of components and techniques. NLP principally involves analysis and generation. Analysis can be viewed as mapping natural language onto a formal representation, which is more useful for the task...
