Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: In this seminar, we are going to explore different ways in which the computer is being employed as a tool for modelling and analyzing linguistic data at different levels of linguistic organisation. We are going to explore techniques in modelling the translation process between languages in the domain of Machine Translation which is one of the most long-standing applications of computers to natural language. We are also going to look into resources and data bases modelling linguistic data and structures such as WordNet from the domain of Cognitive Science or FrameNet at the intersection between grammar and semantics. Further areas of exploration include projects from natural language generation, text-to-speech systems, and natural language recognition to name but a few examples. The seminar is organized in such a way that students can select their own topic area on which they conduct research throughout the semester. The accompanying practical course (Übung) Standard Tools gives students an opportunity to also work with actual example applications and conduct their own experiments with linguistic data. The seminar culminates in a student workshop that we jointly organise. During the workshop, students give a talk on their research project and receive feedback from their peer group. The seminar thus follows the path of a typical conference, starting with the selection of topics, the research, a submission of abstracts, a peer reviewing process within the group and the conference at which the research projects are presented. After the conference, students are invited to write a paper on their research topic which is to be formatted and submitted according to the guidelines of the major conferences in our domain. This gives students an opportunity to not only present their own genuine research project to their fellow students as well as students from other courses, but also simulates a genuine submission and reviewing process for a conference.
