CONTEMPORARY ISSUES AND TRENDS IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS (IN THE MIRROR OF THE 24TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS COLING 2012, MUMBAI)

This paper is an overview of the current issues and tendencies in compulalional linguistics. The overview is based on the materials of the conference on computational linguistics COLING 2012. The modem approaches to the traditional NLP domains such as postagging, syntactic parsing, machine translation are discussed, The highlight of automated information extraction, such as fact extraction, opinion mining are also in focus. The main tendency ofmodern technologies in computational linguistics is to accumulatc the higher level of linguistic analysis (discourse analysis, cognitive modeling) in the models and to combine machine learning technologies with the algorithmic methods based on deep expert linguistic knowledge.
