Book Description

Logic programming, an important new method of compute programming resulting from recent research in artifucial intelligence and computer science, has proved to be especially appropriate for solving problems in natrual-language processing.

This book provides a concise and practical introduction to logic programming and the logic-programming language Prolog both as vehicles for understanding elementary computational linguistics and as tools for implementing the basic components of natural-language-processing systems.

Throughout, the specific concepts and techniques are given rigorous theoretical justification and are demonstrated with working programs that show how Prolog can be used to solve actual problems in syntax, parsing, and semantic intepretation. These examples culminate in a simple working natural-language question-answering system written in Prolog. Extensive bibliographic notes point the reader to related research and further reading.

• Fernando C.N. Pereira is a senior computer scientist at SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center and a consulting professor at Stanford University. His research on Prolog and natural-language processing underlies much recent work in logic grammars.
• Stuart Shieber is a researcher at the Center for the Study of Language and Information and a computer scientist at SRI International's Artificial Intelligence Center. His research on unification-based grammar formalisms bridges logic programming and linguistic theory.

• Natural Language Processing for Prolog Programmers

  An examination of natural language processing in Prolog for those who know Prolog but not linguistics, this book enables students to move quickly into writing and working in useful software for natural language processing (NLP).

• Natural Language Processing Techniques in Prolog

  This book introduces the subject through the discussion and development of various computer programs which illustrate some of the basic concepts and techniques of natural language processing (NLP).

• Foundations of Large Language Models (Tong Xiao, et al.)

  This is a book about Large Language Models (LLM). It primarily focuses on foundational concepts rather than comprehensive coverage of all cutting-edge technologies: pre-training, generative models, prompting techniques, and alignment methods.

  This open access book provides cybersecurity practitioners with the knowledge needed to understand the risks of the increased availability of powerful Large Language Models (LLM) and how they can be mitigated.

• Understanding Large Language Models (Jenny Kunz)

  This practical book offers clear, example-rich explanations of how Large Language Models (LLM) work, how you can interact with them, and how to integrate LLMs into your own applications.

• Foundation Models for Natural Language Processing

  This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in research and applications of Foundation Models and is intended for readers familiar with basic Natural Language Processing (NLP) concepts.
