Automatic ambiguity resolution in natural language processing

This book introduces a new approach to the important NLP issue of automatic ambiguity resolution, based on statistical models of text. This approach is compared with previous work and proved to yield higher accuracy for natural language analysis. At the same time, an effective implementation strategy is described, which is directly useful for natural language analysis.

The book is noteworthy for demonstrating a new empirical approach to NLP; it is essential reading for researchers in natural language processing or computational linguistics.
