This book contains a set of edited papers addressing computational models and systems for the integration of NLP and VP. The papers focus on site descriptions such as that of the large Japanese $500 million Real World Computing (RWC) project, on historical philosophical issues, on systems which have been built and which integrate the processing of visual scenes together with language about them, and on spatial relations which appear to be the key to integration. The USA, Japan and the EU are well-reflected showing up the fact that integration is a truly international issue. There is no doubt that all of this will be necessary for the SuperInformationHighways of the future. ______________________________________________________________________________ VOL 8 (2/3) 1994: INTEGRATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE AND VISION PROCESSING: computational models and systems ABOUT THE AUTHORS: [all authors' biographies given here] PREFACE: Paul Mc Kevitt, Aalborg University, DENMARK and Sheffield University, ENGLAND SITE DESCRIPTIONS: The Real World Computing Program Ryuichi Oka, RWC P Centre, Tsukuba, JAPAN PAPERS: An investigation into the common semantics of language and vision Se/an /O Nuall/ain and Arnold G.

He is a Visiting Professor of Intelligent Multimedia Computing at Aalborg University in Denmark, EU and a British EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) Advanced Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England, EU. The Fellowship, commenced in 1994, and releases him from his tenured Lecturership (Associate Professorship) for 5 years to conduct full-time research on the integration of natural language, speech and vision processing. He is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Sheffield. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Exeter, England in 1991. His Master's Degree in Computer Science was obtained from New Mexico State University, New Mexico, USA in 1988 and his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, EU in 1985. His primary research interests are in Natural Language Processing including the processing of pragmatics, beliefs and intentions in dialogue. He is also interested in Philosophy, Multimedia and the general area of Artificial Intelligence. ====================================================================== ******************************************************************************* AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REVIEW JOURNAL AI REV ******************************************************************************* Artificial Intelligence Review Journal (Kluwer, The Netherlands) Special VOLUME on INTEGRATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE AND VISION PROCESSING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Nicola Berridge (Humanities and Social Sciences Division) Bill George (Desk Editor, Editorial Department) Polly Margules (Kluwer Inhouse Editor, Humanities and Social Sciences) Evangelos Simoudis (USA Editor, AI Review) Melanie Willow (Journals Editorial Office) Masoud Yazdani (Founding Editor, AI Review) ******************************************************************************* LANGUAGE + VISION + LANGUAGE + VISION + LANGUAGE + VISION + LANGUAGE + VISION L ******************************************************************************* ===============================================================================
