(1996)
Integration of Natural Language and Vision Processing (Volume III):
Theory and Grounding Representations
(The GREEN book)
 
ISBN-0-7923-3944-4
 
Price: $ US: 98.00
 
Although there has  been much progress  in developing theories, models
and  systems  in the areas   of Natural Language Processing  (NLP) and
Vision Processing (VP)  there has heretofore  been little progress  on
integrating these two subareas of Artificial  Intelligence (AI).  This
book contains a set of edited papers addressing theoretical issues and
the grounding of representations in  NLP and VP from Philosophical and
Psychological points  of view.  The  papers focus on site descriptions
such as the reasoning  work on  space at  Leeds, England,  the systems
work of the ILS (Illinois, USA) and philosophical work on grounding at
Torino, Italy,   on Schank's earlier  work  on pragmatics  and meaning
incorporated  into   hypermedia teaching systems,  Wilks'   visions on
metaphor, on experimental data for how people fuse language and vision
and  theories   and computational  models,  mainly connectionist,  for
tackling  Searle's Chinese Room  Problem and Harnad's Symbol Grounding
Problem. The  Irish Room is  introduced  as a mechanism  through which
integration solves the  Chinese Room.  The  USA, China and  the EU are
well-reflected   showing the   fact  that   integration  is  a   truly
international  issue.  There is  no  doubt that all   of this will  be
necessary for the SuperInformationHighways of the future.

======================================================================
Paul Mc Kevitt is 32 and from D/un Na nGall  (Donegal), Ireland on the
Northwest of  the   EU.  He is   a  Visiting Professor of  Intelligent
Multimedia  Computing at  Aalborg  University  in  Denmark,  EU and  a
British EPSRC   (Engineering and  Physical Sciences Research  Council)
Advanced    Fellow in the Department    of   Computer Science at   the
University of  Sheffield  in Sheffield, England,  EU.  The Fellowship,
commenced   in 1994, and   releases him from  his tenured Lecturership
(Associate Professorship) for 5 years to conduct full-time research on
the integration of natural language, speech and vision processing.  He
is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Education at the University
of  Sheffield.  He  completed his  Ph.D.  in  Computer Science at  the
University of Exeter, England in 1991. His Master's Degree in Computer
Science was obtained from New Mexico State University, New Mexico, USA
in 1988 and his Bachelor's Degree in  Computer Science from University
College  Dublin, Dublin,  Ireland, EU  in 1985.   His primary research
interests are in Natural  Language Processing including the processing
of pragmatics, beliefs    and  intentions in dialogue.    He   is also
interested  in   Philosophy, Multimedia    and   the general  area  of
Artificial Intelligence.
