Integration of Natural Language and Vision Processing (Vol. I):
computational models

Although there has been much progress in developing theories, models
and systems in the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and
Vision Processing (VP) there has heretofore been little progress on
integrating these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI). 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.

Although there has been much progress in developing theories, models
and systems in the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and
Vision Processing (VP) there has heretofore been little progress on
integrating these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This
book contains a set of edited papers addressing computational
intelligent multimedia for the integration of NLP and VP. The papers
focus on site descriptions such as that of the work at Apple Computer,
California, USA and the DFKI, Saarbr"ucken, Germany, on historical
overviews and philosophical issues, on systems which have been built
and which enable communication through text, speech, touch, video,
graphics and icons, and on the automatic presentation of information
whether it be instruction manuals, statistical information or
visualisation of language. Maybury's original book on Intelligent
Multimedia is also reviewed here. The USA 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.

Although there has been much progress in developing theories, models
and systems in the areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and
Vision Processing (VP) there has been little progress on integrating
these two subareas of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

It is not clear why there has not already been much activity in
integrating NLP and VP. Is it because of the long-time reductionist
trend in science up until the recent emphasis on chaos theory,
non-linear systems, and emergent behaviour? Or, is it because the
people who have tended to work on NLP tend to be in other Departments,
or of a different ilk, to those who have worked on VP?

Whatever the reason, we believe it is high time to bring together
these two areas of AI research. In this endeavour, we are publishing
three Special issues of Ai review Journal dedicated to site
descriptions, surveys, tutorials, and viewpoints on integrated NLP and
VP research.
