Today's lab session...

• Universität Stuttgart Institut für Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung
• Dr. Heid is also on the board of the European Association for Lexicography and
• is in Berkeley for a few months as a visiting scholar at the International Computer Science Institute.
• Dr. Heid has pointed out to me a couple of WWW sites which might be of interest:
  • Towards annotated dialogue corpora by Hans Dybkjaer and Ulrich Heid
• Most of the session will be devoted to the Corpus Query Tools developed at IMS. (documentation
• And before I forget, here is a neat little Macintosh program CONC, from SIL, which does a few of the things that XKWIC does. We'll be looking at this program in more detail in the future.

OK...here's some material Dr. Heid is presenting....

Tagging and lemmatization
Examples: The AMALGAM tagger at Leeds (1/2)

What it is...

• a parameterizable tagger: different tagsets can be applied to a text
• a ``mail-in'' tagging tool: amalgam-tagger@scs.leeds.ac.uk
  (cf. http://agora.leeds.ac.uk/amalgam/ )
• verbose/non-verbose annotations
