Text Understanding in LILOG Integrating Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence. Final Report on the IBM Germany LILOG-Project

The IBM project LILOG presented in this volume represents a fundamental stepbeyond computer science as hitherto understood. It was a successful project in every respect and has shed light on conjectured basic interrelations between knowledge processing and language definition. Knowledge processing i...
