Computational linguistics is defined as the scientific study and engineering of language from a computational perspective. It originated in the 1950s with the goal of using computers to automatically translate texts between languages. There are two main approaches: rule-based systems which explicitly encode linguistic rules and data-driven systems which use statistical and machine learning methods on large datasets. Computational linguistics is applied in many areas including machine translation, speech recognition, natural language interfaces, and information extraction from texts.

Natural Language Processing

INTRODUCTION
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the computerized approach to analyzing text that
is based on both a set of theories and a set of technologies. And, being a very active area
of research and development, there is not a single agreed-upon definition that would
satisfy everyone, but there are some aspects, which would be part of any knowledgeable
person’s definition. The definition I offer is:
Definition: Natural Language Processing is a theoretically motivated range of
computational techniques for analyzing and representing naturally occurring texts
at one or more levels of linguistic analysis for the purpose of achieving human-like
language processing for a range of tasks or applications.
Several elements of this definition can be further detailed. Firstly the imprecise notion of
‘range of computational techniques’ is necessary because there are multiple methods or
techniques from which to choose to accomplish a particular type of language analysis.
‘Naturally occurring texts’ can be of any language, mode, genre, etc. The texts can be
oral or written. The only requirement is that they be in a language used by humans to
communicate to one another. Also, the text being analyzed should not be specifically
constru.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYZER FOR TIGRIGNA VERBS USING HYB...kevig
Morphological analyzer is the base for various high-level NLP applications such as information retrieval,
spell checking, grammar checking, machine translation, speech recognition, POS tagging and automatic
sentence construction. This paper is carefully designed for design and analysis of morphological analyzer
Tigrigna verbs using hybrid of memory learning and rules based approaches. The experiment have
conducted using Python 3 where TiMBL algorithms IB2 and TRIBL2, and Finite State Transducer rules
are used. The performance of the system has been evaluated using 10 fold cross validation technique.
Testing was conducted using optimized parameter settings for regular verbs and linguistic rules of the
Tigrigna language allomorph and phonology for the irregular verbs. The accuracy of the memory based
approach with optimized parameters of TiMBL algorithm IB2 and TRIBL2 was 93.24% and 92.31%,
respectively. Finally, the hybrid approach had an actual performance of 95.6% using linguistic rules for
handling irregular and copula verbs.
People across the globe have access to materials such as journals, articles, adverts etc. via the internet. However
many of these resources come in diverse nature of languages. Although, English language seems most suitable to
most people, some readers do believe that working on materials in one’s native language is more enjoyable than in
other languages. Researches have shown that Arabic language has not been prominent in terms of online materials
and the few existing are most times ignored due to the peculiar nature of its various characters and constructs.
Hence, a proper study of its relationship with English language with a view to bringing people closer to its
understanding becomes necessary. The system scenarios were modeled and implemented using Unified Modeling
Language and Microsoft C# respectively in a way that the expected set of characters of the language of interest was
automatically formed with respect to a given input. The procedural steps were properly followed in the development
and running of the code using Context-Free Rule Based Technique with the availability of hardware required as
clearly described in the design. The system’s workability was tested with different source texts as inputs and in each
case the resulting outputs were very effective with respect to the translation process. The design here is expected to
serve as a tool for assisting beginners in these two languages and so, showcases a one-to-one form of
correspondence, hence, more rules and functions for ensuring a more robust are expected in future works.
Phrase Identification is one of the most critical and widely studied in Natural Language processing (NLP) tasks. Verb Phrase Identification within a sentence is very useful for a variety of application on NLP. One of the core enabling technologies required in NLP applications is a Morphological Analysis. This paper presents the Myanmar Verb Phrase Identification and Translation Algorithm and develops a Markov Model with Morphological Analysis. The system is based on Rule-Based Maximum Matching Approach. In Machine Translation, Large amount of information is needed to guide the translation process. Myanmar Language is inflected language and there are very few creations and researches of Lexicon in Myanmar, comparing to other language such as English, French and Czech etc. Therefore, this system is proposed Myanmar Verb Phrase identification and translation model based on Syntactic Structure and Morphology of Myanmar Language by using Myanmar- English bilingual lexicon. Markov Model is also used to reformulate the translation probability of Phrase pairs. Experiment results showed that proposed system can improve translation quality by applying morphological analysis on Myanmar Language.

Natural Language Processing Theory, Applications and Difficultiesijtsrd
The promise of a powerful computing device to help people in productivity as well as in recreation can only be realized with proper human machine communication. Automatic recognition and understanding of spoken language is the first step toward natural human machine interaction. Research in this field has produced remarkable results, leading to many exciting expectations and new challenges. This field is known as Natural language Processing. In this paper the natural language generation and Natural language understanding is discussed. Difficulties in NLU, applications and comparison with structured programming language are also discussed here.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. The Association for Computational linguistics defines CL as the
scientific study of language from a computational perspective.
Computational linguists are interested in providing computational
models of various kinds of linguistic phenomena.
Work in computational linguistics is in some cases motivated
from a scientific perspective in that one is trying to provide a
computational explanation for a particular linguistic or
psycholinguistic phenomenon.
II. Definition of CL
5. Computational linguistics is the application of linguistic
theories and computational techniques to problems of
natural language processing.
Grishman (1986) defines Computational linguistics as
the study of computer systems for understanding and
generating natural language.
7. The purpose of CL is to develop applications that deal with computer
tasks realted to human language, like development of software for
grammar correction, word sense disembiguation, compilation of
dictionaries and corpora, automatic translation from one language to
another, etc.
8. III.origins
Computational linguistics originated in the United States
in the 1950s to use computers to automatically translate
texts from foreign languages, particularly Russian scientific
journals into English.
CL was born as the name of the new field of study
devoted to developing algorithms and software for
intelligently processing language data.
9. Computers were first used for automatic/ mechanical
translation.Then, their use was extended to deal with
linguistics.
In order to translate a text, it was observed that one had
to understand the grammar of both languages, including
morphology, syntax, semantic, pragmatics, ..etc.
One of the earliest and best known examples of a
computer program is the s-called the ELIZA program
developed by Joseph Weizenbaumat in 1966.
10. VI. Approaches in CL
Rule-Based Systems
Explicit encoding of linguistic knowledge
Usually consisting of a set of hand-crafted, grammatical rules
Require considerable human effort
Often fail to reach sufficient domain coverage
11. Data-Driven Systems
Implicit encoding of linguistic knowledge
Often using statistical methods or machine learning methods
Require less human effort
Are data-driven and require large-scale data source
12. V. Application Areas
machine translation
speech recognition
man-machine interfaces
intelligent word processing: spelling correction,
grammar correction
16. Conclusion
Nowdays research within the scope of CL is done
at computational linguistics departments, CL
laboratories, computer science departments, and
linguistics departments.
