Introducing Computational Concepts in a Linguistics Olympiad

Linguistics olympiads, now offered in more than 20 countries, provide secondary-school students a compelling introduction to an unfamiliar field. The North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO) includes computational puzzles in addition to purely linguistic ones. This paper explores the computational subject matter we want to convey via NACLO, as well as some of the challenges tha...

Computational Linguistics: Language Learning

Corpus linguistics meets language technology:

To the extent that NLP is used by QA systems, it is mostly limited to tokenization, named entity recognition, stemming, POS tagging, and shallow parsing. More sophisticated NLP such as (deep) syntactic parsing is hardly ever used. In the present paper I investigate why this should be the case and try to establish how deep syntactic parsing as developed in the field of corpus linguistics might c...

We introduce a new interactive corpus exploration tool called InfoMagnets. InfoMagnets aims at making exploratory corpus analysis accessible to researchers who are not experts in text mining. As evidence of its usefulness and usability, it has been used successfully in a research context to uncover relationships between language and behavioral patterns in two distinct domains: tutorial dialogue...
