      A global introduction to language technology and the areas of computer science where language technology plays a role. Surveyed in this volume are issues related to the parsing problem in the fields of natural languages, programming languages, and formal languages.Throughout the book attention is paid to the social forces which influenced the development of the various topics. Also illustrated are the development of the theory of language analysis, its role in compiler construction, and its role in computer applications with a natural language interface between men and machine. Parts of the material in this book have been used in courses on computational linguistics, computers and society, and formal approaches to languages.

      Deductive databases and object-oriented databases are at the forefront of research in next-generation intelligent database systems.Object-orien... programming and design methodologies have great potential, promising to reduce the complexity of very large software systems in such domains as computer-aided design and manufacturing, integrated office information systems, and artificial intelligence. Object-oriented database systems will enhance the programmer/user productivity of such systems. Research into deductive databases is aimed at discovering efficient schemes to uniformly represent assertions and deductive rules, and to respond to highly expressive queries against the knowledge base of assertions and rules. This area of research is strongly interacting with Logic Programming which has developed in parallel, sharing Logic as a common basis. Recently, research has aimed at integrating the object-oriented paradigm and rule-based deduction to provide a single powerful framework for intelligent database systems.The aim of this book is to present research papers and technical discussions between researchers concerned with deductive databases, object-oriented databases, and their integration.

      Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence: Proceedings of the Seventh Conference (1991) covers the papers presented at the Seventh Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, held on July 13-15, 1991 at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). The book focuses on the processes, technologies, developments, and approaches involved in artificial intelligence. The selection first offers information on combining multiple-valued logics in modular expert systems; constraint propagation with imprecise conditional probabilities; and Bayesian networks applied to therapy monitoring. The text then examines some properties of plausible reasoning; theory refinement on Bayesian networks; combination of upper and lower probabilities; and a probabilistic analysis of marker-passing techniques for plan-recognition. The publication ponders on symbolic probabilistic inference (SPI) with continuous variables, SPI with evidence potential, and local expression languages for probabilistic dependence. Topics include local expression languages for probabilistic knowledge, evidence potential algorithm, symbolic inference with evidence potential, and SPI with continuous variables algorithm. The manuscript also takes a look at the compatibility of quantitative and qualitative representations of belief and a method for integrating utility analysis into an expert system for design evaluation under uncertainty. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in artificial intelligence.
