Non-directionality and self-assessment in an example-based system using genetic algorithms

Published:05 August 1994Publication History

ABSTRACT

We show the application of an optimisation technique to natural language processing: genetic algorithms, thanks to the definition of a data structure called board and a formal distance. The system has two interesting features: non-directionality, which is more than bidirectionality, and self-assessment, independently of the inner knowledge. Results of experiments are presented and discussed.
