ProLiV - a Tool for Teaching by Viewing Computational Linguistics
نویسندگان
چکیده
ProLiV Animated Process-modeler of Complex (Computational) Linguistic Methods and Theories is a fully modular, flexible, XML-based stand-alone Java application, used for computer-assisted learning in Natural Language Processing (NLP) or Computational Linguistics (CL). Having a flexible and extendible architecture, the system presents the students, by means of text, of visual elements (such as pictures and animations) and of interactive parameter set-up, the following topics: Latent Semantics Analysis (LSA), (computational) lexicons, question modeling, Hidden-Markov-Models (HMM), and Topic-Focus. These topics are addressed to first-year students in computer science and/or linguistics.

The Syntax Student's Companion: An ELearning Tool Designed For (Computational) Linguistics Students
This paper advocates the use of free and easily accessible computer programs in teaching. The motivating reasons for a particular program supporting the learning of syntax are given, and a first version of the program is presented and illustrated. Initial evaluation results led to additional specifications and to the development of a new version of the program that is introduced. Finally, sever...
متن کاملAn Analysis and Visualization Tool for Case Study Learning of Linguistic Concepts
We present an educational tool that integrates computational linguistics resources for use in non-technical undergraduate language science courses. By using the tool in conjunction with evidence-driven pedagogical case studies, we strive to provide opportunities for students to gain an understanding of linguistic concepts and analysis through the lens of realistic problems in feasible ways. Cas...
متن کاملSome reflections on the teaching of CAT
Synopsis Information processing is both a tool for the professional translator and an area of interest to translators. This implies 2 types of teaching for data processing: knowledge of the field and know-how. The use of machine aids to translation has to respect 2 fundamental principles : the techniques are to be used in the service of content and the document has to be thought as electronic. ...
