Recent advances in the fields of knowledge representation,
reasoning and human-computer interaction have paved the way for a
novel approach to treating and handling context. The field of
research presented in this book addresses the problem of contextual
computing in artificial intelligence based on the state of the art
in knowledge representation and human-computer interaction. The
author puts forward a knowledge-based approach for employing
high-level context in order to solve some persistent and
challenging problems in the chosen showcase domain of natural
language understanding. Specifically, the problems addressed
concern the handling of noise due to speech recognition errors,
semantic ambiguities, and the notorious problem of
underspecification. Consequently the book examines the individual
contributions of contextual composing for different types of
context. Therefore, contextual information stemming from the domain
at hand, prior discourse, and the specific user and real world
situation are considered and integrated in a formal model that is
applied and evaluated employing different multimodal mobile dialog
systems. This book is intended to meet the needs of readers from at
least three fields - AI and computer science; computational
linguistics; and natural language processing - as well as some
computationally oriented linguists, making it a valuable resource
for scientists, researchers, lecturers, language processing
practitioners and professionals as well as postgraduates and some
undergraduates in the aforementioned fields. "The book addresses a
problem of great and increasing technical and practical importance
- the role of context in natural language processing (NLP). It
considers the role of context in three important tasks: Automatic
Speech Recognition, Semantic Interpretation, and Pragmatic
Interpretation. Overall, the book represents a novel and insightful
investigation into the potential of contextual information
processing in NLP." Jerome A Feldman, Professor of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science, UC Berkeley, USA
