Download: Natural Language Processing: Challenges and Opportunities in Intelligent Transportation



Natural Language Processing (NLP) encompasses all aspects of interpretation and production of natural languages such as English, Chinese, Italian or Arabic, on the part of the computer. After a brief introduction to the field and to the activities taking place in the NLP lab at UIC, I will concentrate on two projects where NLP is applied to intelligent vehicle interfaces, and mobile devices. The first projects concerns generating enhanced driving directions, which include mention of landmarks and aggregation (i.e., summarization) of similar, contiguous directions. The second project concerns aggregation for intelligent search on mobile devices.

BIOGRAPHY: Barbara Di Eugenio is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at UIC. She has been active in NLP for more than 15 years. She is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award. Her work is being supported by NSF, ONR and Motorola.
