Events

CL Lunch

The upcoming topic at the CL Lunch is Redundancy in perceptual and linguistic experience: Comparing feature-based and distributional theories of semantic representation, by Brian Riordan. Past topics include How to use Big Red and UnixTricks. The computational linguists also hosted the Professionalization Workshop during the Spring 2008 semester.

Resources

Corpora

The department maintains a List of Corpora from many languages.
