[Corpora-List] Survey: interactive websites for teaching

[Spela Vintar]

Hi Adam,

there is a useful list of CL-demos compiled by Martin Volk:
http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/CL/InteractiveTools.html

A neat demonstration and visualization of clustering words and word
senses was developed within the Infomap project, Stanford:
http://infomap.stanford.edu/webdemo
I used this page with my students and they liked it a lot.

Cheers,

Spela
