Partiality and underspecification in information, languages, and knowledge

In recent years, there has been a proliferadtion of technological developments that incorporate processing of human language.

Hardware and software can be specialized for designated subject areas, and computational devices are designed for a widening variety of applications.

At the same time, new areas and applications are emerging by demanding intelligent technology enhanced by the processing of human language.

These new applications often perform tasks which handle information, and they have a capacity to reason, using both formal and human language.

This book covers theoretical work, advanced applications, approaches and techniques for computational models of information, reasoning systems and presentation in language.
