Abstract

We present an abductive mechanism that works as a robust parser in realistic tasks ofN atural Language Processing involving incomplete information in the lexicon, whether it lacks lexical items or the items are partially and/or wrongly tagged. The abductive mechanism is based on an algorithm for automated deduction in Lambek Calculus for Categorial Grammar. Most relevant features, from the Artificial Intelligence point of view, lie in the ability for handling incomplete information input, and for increasing and reorganizing automatically lexical data from large scale corpora.
