face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">This eight-day course offers those working in linguistic disciplines the chance to discover how language technologies can add to their research capabilities.
The course teaches the language technologies that can be used to process text corpora. A study is also made of existing lexical resources produced by, or for, language technology, and the dominant formalisms in use.
<b>Course Details:</b>
On completing this course students will be able to:</font>
</pre>
<ol>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Describe the ways in
which language corpora can be enriched using a variety of language technologies.</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Critically evaluate
these technologies, and determine their usefulness for linguistic research
and lexicography.</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Work with different
algorithms and strategies for lemmatisation, part-of-speech tagging, parsing
and word sense disambiguation.</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Describe and evaluate
other computational lexical resources that are available.</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Interpret data in a
variety of leading formalisms for lexical representation.</font></small></li>
</ol>
<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Course Content:</b>
</font></small>
<ul>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Lemmatization, for
English and for languages with more complex morphology</font></small></li>

proper names, dates, places, etc</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Part-of-speech tagging
for English and other languages: tagsets and training corpora; manual rule-writing
approaches</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Grammars and Parsing:
history; context-free grammars; dependency grammars; deep and shallow parsing;
parser evaluation</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Word sense disambiguation;
word senses, norms and exploitations; dictionary-based methods; supervised
training methods; senses and domains; evaluation</font></small></li>

Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Key initiatives in
lexical resource development and standardisation: EAGLES, SIMPLE, WordNets,
FrameNet</font></small></li>
<li><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Machine learning strategies,
to include Bayesian approaches, Markov Models, Maximum Entropy, Transformation-Based
Learning and Decision trees and lists.</font></small></li>
