著作简介
The Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics
《牛津计算语言学手册》
简介：
《牛津计算语言学手册》第二版在第一版的基础上进行了修订和扩展。除了更新第一版的所有内容之外，它还添加了17个新章节，所涉主题包括语义角色标签、文本-话语合成、翻译技术、观点挖掘与情感分析、自然语言处理在教育和生物医学环境中的应用等。
该手册分为四个部分，分别是计算语言学的语言学基础；使用的方法和资源，如统计建模、机器学习和语料库标注；关键的语言处理任务，包括文本分割、回指解析和话语识别；以及自然语言处理的主要应用，从机器翻译到作者简介。该手册将为计算语言学和自然语言处理领域的研究人员、学生以及相关行业的工作人员提供重要参考。
Abstract:
Ruslan Mitkov's highly successful Oxford Handbook of Computational Linguistics has been substantially revised and expanded in this second edition. Alongside updated accounts of the topics covered in the first edition, it includes 17 new chapters on subjects such as semantic role-labelling, text-to-speech synthesis, translation technology, opinion mining and sentiment analysis, and the application of Natural Language Processing in educational and biomedical contexts, among many others.
The volume is divided into four parts that examine, respectively: the linguistic fundamentals of computational linguistics; the methods and resources used, such as statistical modelling, machine learning, and corpus annotation; key language processing tasks including text segmentation, anaphora resolution, and speech recognition; and the major applications of Natural Language Processing, from machine translation to author profiling. The book will be an essential reference for researchers and students in computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing, as well as those working in related industries.

“回顾第一版，这是一本发人深省的书，图书馆及语言学系都值得收藏。我强烈推荐该书。”
——《国际词典学杂志》
"Review from previous edition 'A highly stimulating and impressive book which should be found in every library and every linguistics department. I strongly recommend it.'"
- International Journal
of Lexicography
“这是一本优秀的参考书，汇集了极为丰富的信息，使有经验的读者能够迅速进入计算语言学和自然语言处理的新学科领域……该书的独特优势在于对基本语言学问题进行了以计算为导向的全面讨论，并且对自然语言处理方法和语料来源进行了全方位的覆盖。”
——Linguist List
"An excellent reference book that provides a wealth of information and enables the experienced reader to enter quickly into new subject areas of computational linguistics and natural language processing. . . The particular strengths of the OHCL are the comprehensive computation-oriented discussion of the fundamental linguistic issues and the broad coverage of NLP methods and resources."
