Tratamiento automático de textos en español

Abstract

The overwhelming presence of computers in our daily life has changed our way of working and communicating among us. This, along with the emergence of Internet -that enormous net that ties together all the world- has given birth to the so-called society of information. This society is based on the capacity of communication and distribution of information that offers that worldwide net. Of course, the central element of this communication is the human language and basically the available resources are, in their great majority, texts, that is, documents in a written form. The present work describes the efforts that our group carries out in the field of the automatic processing of written documents. For this aim, we introduce the situation of the Spanish language in the world of Internet; we place our work in relation to other language technologies; and finally we describe the processes involved in this automatic processing.
