Presentation

The aim of the team is to investigate semantic phenomena (broadly construed) in natural language from a computational perspective. More concretely, TALARIS’s goal is to develop grammars (with a special emphasis on French) with a semantic dimension; to explore the linguistic and computational issues involved in such areas as natural language genera- tion, textual entailment recognition, discourse and dialogue modeling, pragmatics, and multilinguality; to develop computational tools for inference; and to investigate the interplay between representation and inference in computational semantics for natural language.
