Natural language processing (NLP) is a vibrant field of interdisciplinary Computer Science research. Ultimately, NLP seeks to build intelligence into software so that software will be able to process a natural language as skillfully and artfully as humans. Prolog, a general purpose logic programming language, has been used extensively to develop NLP applications or components thereof. This report is concerned with introducing the interested reader to the broad field of NLP with respect to NLP applications that are built in Prolog or from Prolog components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
