Statistics and Language
Language is ambiguous all over!
So statistics combines bits of evidence into smart guesses about what we don�t know for sure:
- Speech recognition (1975)
- Part-of-speech tagging (1988)
- Machine translation
- Speech synthesis
- Information retrieval, extraction, classification
- Text correction (e.g., spelling, accent restoration �)
- Grammar induction
- And many subproblems �
