New beginnings: natural language processing

Filed under: Prolog — metacircular @ 7:46 pm

I am planning on undertaking a research project in my spare time involving automatically data mining and natural language generation.

The first thing to do is to learn Prolog thoroughly. Prolog has a number of interesting properties, among them that parsing is declarative, for free, making it even more effortless than combinator parsing in functional programming languages.

More posts will be forthcoming.

I was once overcome with an urge to rant about the relative merits of programming languages. I am done with this and hopefully it will be something that gets covered up in Google searches by more valuable contributions I leave in the Internet crumb trail anyone who actively participates in online discussion creates.
