Line 1: {{~~confuse~~Confuse\|Semantics (computer science)}} {{Short description\|Meaning represented by natural language}} {{Semantics}} ~~{{Semantics}}~~'''Computational semantics''' is the study of how to automate the process of constructing and reasoning with [[semantics\|meaning representations]] of [[natural language]] expressions.<ref>Blackburn, Patrick, and Johan Bos. "[https://dialnet.unirioja.es/descarga/articulo/499187.pdf Computational semantics]." Theoria: An International Journal for Theory, History and Foundations of Science (2003): ~~27-45~~27–45.</ref> It consequently plays an important role in [[natural language processing\|natural-language processing]] and [[computational linguistics]]. Some traditional topics of interest are: [[semantic analysis (linguistics)\|construction of meaning representation]]s, semantic [[underspecification]], [[anaphora (linguistics)\|anaphora]] resolution,<ref>Basile, Valerio, et al. "[https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22meaning+representation%22+%22computational+semantics%22+%22underspecification%22+%22anaphora%22+%22scope+resolution%22&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C47# Developing a large semantically annotated corpus]." LREC 2012, Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation. 2012.</ref> [[presupposition]] projection, and [[Quantifier (linguistics)\|quantifier]] scope resolution. Methods employed usually draw from [[Formal semantics (linguistics)\|formal semantics]] or [[statistical semantics]]. Computational semantics has points of contact with the areas of [[lexical semantics]] ([[word -sense disambiguation]] and [[semantic role labeling]]), discourse semantics, [[knowledge representation]] and [[automated reasoning]] (in particular, [[automated theorem proving]]). Since 1999 there has been an [[Association for Computational Linguistics\|ACL]] special interest group on computational semantics, SIGSEM. ==See also== Line 9 ⟶ 10: * [[Formal semantics (natural language)]] * [[Minimal recursion semantics]] * [[Natural -language understanding]] * [[Semantic compression]] * [[Semantic parsing]] Line 17 ⟶ 18: ==Further reading== * Blackburn, P., and Bos, J.
