Autorenporträt

Michael L. Clark is the author of The Shimmering Trilogy. This series allows the reader to explore what it might be like to live on the Natchez Trail in the early 1800s. His first two books: The Shimmering and The Diary of Gus Childers left his readers begging for more.A long-time resident of Middle Tennessee, he spends much of his free time exploring historical places throughout the Southeastern part of the country. With each journey, he discovers new intriguing material to research for upcoming books. Clark has recently retired from the United States Postal Service which allows him more time for writing and researching his next projects.

Rezensionen

"Altogether, this Handbook covers a wide variety of topics in NLP and CL and, is of particular use to researchers in the field of MT. On a more general note, graduate students or novice researchers can utilise this book as a comprehensive starting point for their area of interest within NLP or CL ... All in all, this is very well compiled book, which effectively balances the width and depth of theories and applications in two very diverse yet closely related fields of language research." -- Machine Translation, 18 March 2012

"The overall evaluation is therefore definitely very good: the work is solid, complete and definitely an important reference for NLP and CL." (Linguistlist, 14 January 2014)
