Abstract
A general introduction to natural language processing is provided, including a definition and an overview of how natural language processing systems work. Representative systems from both the research and applied sectors are presented in order to illustrate the state of the art in the field and the issues which underlie system design and implementation. Actual and potential areas for natural language processing in information retrieval, including retrieval from online catalogs, indexes, and full texts are discussed, with an assessment of short- and long-range agendas and possible limitations.
