Natural Language Processing for the Working Programmerby Daniël de Kok, Harm Brouwer , 2011
We will go into many of the techniques that so-called computational linguists use to analyze the structure of human language, and transform it into a form that computers work with. We chose Haskell as the main programming language for this book.

Notes on Computational Linguisticsby Edward Stabler - UCLA , 2003
What kind of computational device could use a system like a human language? This text explores the computational properties of devices that could compute morphological and syntactic analyses, and recognize semantic relations among sentences.

A Maximum Entropy Approach to Natural Language Processingby A. L. Berger, S. A. Della Pietra, V. J. Della Pietra - Association for Computational Linguistics , 1996
The authors describe a method for statistical modeling based on maximum entropy. They present a maximum-likelihood approach for automatically constructing maximum entropy models and describe how to implement this approach efficiently.
