TL;DR
The future of natural language text processing is examined in the SCISOR prototype, drawing on artificial intelligence techniques, and applying them to financial news items through a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing.
Abstract
The future of natural language text processing is examined in the SCISOR prototype. Drawing on artificial intelligence techniques, and applying them to financial news items, this powerful tool illustrates some of the future benefits of natural language analysis through a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing.

The Ace framework applies knowledge representation fundamentals to the task of encoding knowledge about language, and structured associations are used to join knowledge structures that are metaphorically related or otherwise used in linguistic expression.
Lexicon acquisition: learning from corpus by capitalizing on lexical categories
