[Corpora-List] For students: "CL in Action"

[Rayson, Paul]

Hi,

If you want to look at English POS tagging online, see: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/claws/trial.html

For spelling correction in action, the obvious ones would be opening a word processor and mistyping some text, or you could use the 'correction' feature in Google search.

  Hi all,

the new semester has begun and I'm about to plan my first courses. I'd 
like to give the new students some overview about applications of 
Computational Linguistics in the reals world as well as some good 
illustration of the things that happen "behind the scenes" (parsing, 
PoS-Tagging...).
I'm thinking of some slides illustrating standard-techniques like NER, 
parse-tree-generation, for example. Additionally, some actually 
functioning demos would be cool: Perhaps a web-application taking a 
sentence and outputting the parse tree, or the PoS-Tags or whatsoever. 
Or something demonstrating how spelling correction works.
Do you know some resources where some of these things are nicely shown 
and which I could use? Of course I could just do some slides and there 
are plenty of parsers, taggers etc. running in our lab, but it's nothing 
you'd show your fresh students for a first glance ;)

I appreciate any tips!

Thanks,

     Erik
