Abstract
This is a short introduction to topics and problems in natural language processing that are of interest for connectionist research. We recall the natural language processing (NLP) problem and conclude that until now no promising approaches from a neural network (NN) point of view are available. It does not mean that there is no progress in this field. Rather than attacking the complete problem it has become customary to search for subtasks for which a NN approach is useful. In addition, the sometimes rather ad hoc and exotic approaches to language analysis have been replaced by fundamental research into sequence recognition, finite state automata (FSA) simulation and general research on grammatical inference with NNs. We do not confine ourselves to NN approaches, but survey a range of approaches to NLP and provide the framework in which connectionist NLP can be embedded and evaluated.
