Link Grammar Version 5.10.5 is
now available! Link Grammar provides a highly accurate natural language
parser. New in this version is the final, complete set of Thai
dictionaries, thanks to Prachya Boonkwan with support from the National
Electronics and Computer Technology Center in Thailand.
Why might you be interested in this? Well, despite all of the hype about GPT-3 and LaMDA, we still do not have a good handle on symbolic processing and thus on "common sense" reasoning in AI. I'm convinced that the symbolic approach will ultimately dominate over neural net deep-learning. FYI: learning of symbolic systems is actually quite similar to deep learning; these are not as different as they seem at first. The big difference is you get symbols out (part-whole relations, prepositional relationships, etc. - things DL NN cannot do.)
