[Corpora-List] New techniques in text processing

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Dear Amaç,

as well as tools you can trust, you need data you can trust.  Techniques I
describe in Getting to know your
corpus<http://trac.sketchengine.co.uk/attachment/wiki/AK/Papers/Kilgarriff_TSD2012.pdf?format=raw>
are
designed to help researchers find the characteristics, quirks and biases of
their dataset

Regards

Adam
