Human Language Technology is essential in coping with today´s information overload. To scale up, it must be robust and capable of making sense of noisy data. This book explores the topic of cognitive language engineering as a key for robustness. It can be used by students and practitioners alike, as a computational linguistics textbook and as a toolbox for building robust natural language understanding systems. About this book: "Pallotta´s insight and critical discussion of the underlying mental models are core issues of present-day cognitive language engineering" [Prof. Hon. Giovanni Coray, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Switzerland]. From a computational linguistics perspective Pallotta´s book provides students and researchers with a powerful toolbox and many examples of real-world applications. [Prof. Rodolfo Delmonte, University of Venice]. "Pallotta s work on cognitive language engineering is a stimulating and well written treatise on models for computer applications that can interact using natural language. Practical and robust natural language systems begin to become a reality with this fascinating work." [Dr. Afzal Ballim, Computational Linguist].
