This paper describes material for a course in computational linguistics which concentrates on building (parts of) realistic language technology applications for Dutch. We present an overview of the reasons for developing new material, rather than using existing text-books. Next we present an overview of the course in the form of six exercises, covering advanced use of finite state methods, gram...

We present computational linguistics techniques which can help researchers dealing with the increasing amount of available digital text, focusing on potential use in the history of science. We examine two tasks: automatically extracting terms from documents and identifying relations between the terms. We show that the two tasks can be performed reliably and fast, and that new terms and relation...

Interactive ction (IF) or text adventures are text-based computer games. After a short introduction I will explain some details of an IF authoring system. As an illustration I will give an outline of my own project. I will conclude by discussing some scientiic attempts to improve the genre using theories of artiicial intelligence and computational linguistics. 1 What is interactive ction (IF) ?...

Dr. Alfred Hoppe of Forschuugsgruppe LIMAS has developed a pro / cedure for a reversible data flow (Figure I). 'In the matrix/%hree ~ different quantities are connected together. For analysis~he grammatical description of an inflected form is determined by combining the inflection class with the ending. For example the German verb ~ehen is composed of the stem ~eh and the ending e_~u. The lexic...

In this paper we give an overview of Computational Linguistics / Natural Language Processing in Brazil, describing the general research scenario, the main research groups, existing events and journals, and the perceived challenges, among other relevant information. We also identify opportunities
