Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the role of artificial intelligence in natural language processing. We follow the chronology of the development of natural language processing systems (Sect. 2). This review is necessarily partial and subjective: rather than providing a general introduction to natural language processing, it focuses on logical and discursive aspects (Sect. 3) and on the contributions of machine learning (Sect. 4).

This chapter extends an earlier version written in French with Laurence Danlos.
