  1. Natural Language Processing(or “NLP”)Reading:Chapter 1 from Jurafsky and Martin, Speech and Language Processing: An Introduction to Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, and Speech Recognition(linked to class website)

  2. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

  3. What is involved in NLP? Phonetics / Phonology: Recover sequence of words from audio signal. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”

  4. What is involved in NLP? Phonetics / Phonology: Recover sequence of words from audio signal. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”

  5. Text-To-Speech: Take a sequence of words and generate an audio signal. “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

  6. Morphology: Recognize plurals, contractions, etc. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

  7. 1: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.Parses found: 1     [1]   <SENTENCE> <CENTER>-| <IMPERATIVE> | <VO> | <LVR>-| | Open ................... <*V> | | v: open <OBJECT>-| | <NSTGO> | <NSTG> | <LNR> | <LN>-| | <TPOS>-| | | <LTR> | | | the ....... <*T> | | | <NPOS>-| | | <NNN> | | pod ....... <*N>-| | | n: pod bay ....... <*N>-| | | n: bay <NVAR>-| | doors ........... <*N> | | n: door <COMMASTG>-| | , .............. , | | <RN>-| | <APPOS> | <LNR> | <NVAR> | HAL ..... <*N> | <ENDMARK>-| Syntax: Parse utterance Determine type of utterance (e.g., question, request, command)

  8. Lexical Semantics: Determine meaning of component words • 1: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.Parse Nr: 1 • Open • v: open • 1. open, open_up -- (cause to open or to become open; "Mary opened the car door") • pod • n: pod • 4. fuel_pod, pod -- (a detachable container of fuel on an airplane) • bay • n: bay • 1. bay -- (an indentation of a shoreline larger than a cove but smaller than a gulf) • doors • n: door • 1. door -- (a swinging or sliding barrier that will close the entrance to a room or building; "he knocked on the door"; "he slammed the door as he left")

  9. Compositional semantics: Determine meaning from combination of these components. window door open action ingress egress kind of kind of kind of applies to applies to kind of kind of

  10. Pragmatics: Adapt phrasings to current situation, to accomplish goals. E.g., politeness: “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

  11. Discourse: Conversational behavior follows conventions (don’t interrupt, respond to requests and questions, etc.)

  12. NLP does all this, plus dealing with ambiguity in language • “I made her duck” • Meanings?
