This document provides an outline on natural language processing and machine vision. It begins with an introduction to different levels of natural language analysis, including phonetic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analysis. Phonetic analysis constructs words from phonemes using frequency spectrograms. Syntactic analysis builds a structural description of sentences through parsing. Semantic analysis generates a partial meaning representation from syntax, while pragmatic analysis uses context. The document also introduces machine vision as a technology using optical sensors and cameras for industrial quality control through detection of faults. It operates through sensing images, processing/analyzing images, and various applications.

representation) together with a
mapping between elements of each
other

Syntactic Analysis
i. Exploitsresult of Phonetic Analysis
ii. Builds Structural description of Sentence.
iii. Flat input sequence is converted into hierarchical
structure(parsing).
Semantic Analysis

Pragmatic Analysis
Uses contextof utterance
Where, by who, to whom, why, when it was said
Intentions: inform, request, promise, criticize, …
Handling Pronouns
“Kusum eats apples. She likes them.”
She=“Kusum”, them=“apples”.
