Fuzzy Systems for Computational Linguistics and Natural Language

Abstract

A natural language (NL) is any of the languages naturally used by humans, i.e. not an artificial such as programming languages. Natural language generation systems convert information from computer databases into normal-sounding human language and natural language understanding systems convert samples of human language into more formal representations that are easier for computer programs to manipulate. Natural language is basically a system for describing perceptions. In this paper we discuss use of fuzzy logic in natural language processing and computation, the general process of NLP as well as some common techniques used, computational linguistic, linguistic approximation.
