Section: Application Domains

Introduction

Our applicative domains concern natural language processing applications that rely on a deep semantic analysis. For instance, one may cite the following ones:

• textual entailment and inference,

• dialogue systems,

• semantic-oriented query systems,

• content analysis of unstructured documents,

• text transformation and automatic summarization,

• (semi) automatic knowledge acquisition.

However, if the need for semantics seems to be ubiquitous, there is a challenge in finding applications for which a deep semantic analysis results in a real improvement over non semantic-based techniques.
