Adjunct assistant professor and ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Linguistics alumnus Kevin Cohen's second book, Biomedical Natural Language Processing, is available for pre-order on  and should be available for delivery later this month. Co-authored with the Natural Library of Medicine's Dina Demner-Fushman, the book's cover describes it as "a comprehensive tour through the classic and current work in the field. It discusses all subjects from both a rule-based and a machine learning approach, and also describes each subject from the perspective of both biological science and clinical medicine. The indended audience is readers who already have a background in natural language processing, but a clear introduction makes it accessible to readers from the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology as well. The book is suitable as a reference, as well as a text for advanced courses in biomedical natural language processing and text mining." Kevin and Dina chose John Benjamins as the publisher because they admired other books in their natural language processing series, and because other books in the series had gone into second editions, suggesting that they actually do sell.
