Introduction to Natural Language Syntax and Parsing
Assignments
There will be four short, take-home assignments on linguistic analysis. Each assignment is worth 5% of the final module mark. These will be `ticked' rather than graded: i.e., for each assignment, 100% of the mark is awarded for satisfactory completion and 0% for inadequate work or failure to submit. This does NOT mean that the answers have to be completely `correct' (there is anyway often genuine disagreement on some aspects linguistic analyses), just that a reasonable attempt has been made.
These assignments should be handed to student administration before the lecture on the deadline day.
Assignment 1: Deadline 21st October.
Assignment 2 Deadline 28th October.
Assignment 3 Deadline 4th November.
Assignment 4 Deadline 11th November.
Practical
- Practical: Parse a designated set of sentences with two or more parsing systems, to yield representations of their grammatical relations, phrase structure and/or logical forms. Evaluate the performance of the tools quantitatively and qualitatively.
There will be an assessed practical report based on the practical described above. The practical report will consist of a description of the work done of not more than 5000 words. It will contribute 80% of the final module mark. The deadline for handing in completed reports is 14th January 2020, 4pm.
