Explore the intricacies of Natural Language Processing (NLP) through our detailed review of syntax analysis, focusing on essential components like Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging, morphological analysis, and parsing techniques. Understand the foundational concepts including formal grammars, finite state automata, and context-free grammars. Delve into the methods of parsing, such as top-down and bottom-up approaches, and learn about parse trees, semantic structures, and more. Equip yourself with the necessary linguistic knowledge to classify language phenomena and apply semantics to enhance NLP applications.

What you should know! Areas, Terminology • Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, Pragmatics, Speech, Dialogue, Spoken Language • Metaphors • Intentions • Ambiguity (syntactic and lexical/ semantic)
What you should be able to do! • Classify language phenomenon or method into category above. • Describe the areas briefly.
What you should know! Basic theoretical concepts: • Formal Grammars and Languages • FSA (finite state automata, regular languages) • CF (context-free grammars/languages) • CS (context-sensitive --- )
What you should know! Syntax: Concepts and Methods • Parsing (bottom up; top down) • Parse Trees • Problems in Parsing (recursion, especially left-recursive rules; binding problem) • Charts and Chart-Parsing • Earley Algorithm
What you should know! English Grammar • POS Categories • Phrases • Phrase Structure Grammar • NP Modification • VP Subcategorization • Feature Structures: Unification • Features in Grammar Rules
What you should be able to use! Semantics • simple Case Frame structures • Inheritance Hierarchies with Roles (relations), Features (functional attributes), and IS-A links • First-Order Predicate Logic
What you should be able to do! Semantics • transformation between • CF structure and graphical representation (inheritance hierarchy) • CF structure and logic form • logic form and inheritance hierarchy DL in both directions
Student Presentations • Spatial Relations and Reasoning • Metaphors • Description Logics • DL and the Semantic Web • CommandTalk • Javelin • NL Generation • Speech and Translation
In Addition! • Be aware of and be able to apply the knowledge you gained in this course (hopefully)
