Abstract
Work in computational linguistics began very soon after the development of the first computers (Booth, Brandwood and Cleave 1958), yet in the intervening four decades there has been a pervasive feeling that progress in computer understanding of natural language has not been commensurate with progress in other computer applications. Recently, a number of prominent researchers in natural language processing met to assess the state of the discipline and discuss future directions (Bates and Weischedel 1993). The consensus of this meeting was that increased attention to large amounts of lexical and domain knowledge was essential for significant progress, and current research efforts in the field reflect this point of view.Keywords
