Algebraic Structures in Natural Language

Shalom Lappin is a Professor of Computational Linguistics at the University of Gothenburg, Professor of Natural Language Processing at Queen Mary University of London and Emeritus Professor of Computational Linguistics at King's College London. His research focuses on the application of machine learning and probabilistic models to the representation and the acquisition of linguistic knowledge.

Algebraic Structures in Natural Language by bringing together leading researchers from computational and mathematical linguistics, psychology and behavioural science, addresses the learning procedures through which humans acquire natural language, and the way in which they represent its properties.
