Annotation -
An introductory course for automatic text processing using the most common and efficient tools and methods. The skills acquired during the course will benefit any scientific work that involves large texts and they are also required for serious study of computational linguistics.

Syllabus -

We will use large texts from the students' field of study to demonstrate the

most important methods of text processing required to acquire non-trivial

information or verify hypotheses.

  • An impact of large text data: properties of big data
  • unix shell and basic commands
  • more commands for text processing
  • text editors
  • searching via regular expressions
  • using regular expressions for text maniplation
  • formulation and verification of hypotheses, application on data, precission, recall
  • example applications: stripping diacritics, sentence segmentation, tokenisation
  • rule-based part of speech tagging
  • corpus acquisition
  • NLP workfow engines: GATE, OpenNLP, Treex,
  • automatic complex analysis of a corpus
  • visualisation of the analysis and results
