THEORIES OF COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELIGENCE IN DISCOURSE RESEARCH
Abstract
Discourse structure processing models are crucial for building computational systems capable of interpreting and generating natural language. Discourse research focuses on fundamental questions within computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. Discourse research in computational linguistics intelligence includes spoken and written discourse, monologues, and dialogues. In the paper, we review the types of discourse structure and important theories. We show how these theories are used to address specific phenomena of discourse processing in computational systems. Finally, we consider the use of discourse processing techniques in modern language technology applications.
Keywords: discourse, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, theories, text generation.
