August 22nd - September 3rd 2010 at the University of Zadar
organized by the Linguistics Department Department of Library and Information Science Psychology Department
in cooperation with the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics
We invite all enthusiastic and motivated students, researchers, and colleagues with a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches to language, cognition and computation to participate at the summer school, workshop and round table covering topics like: * Language resources and digital annotation technologies and standards * Computational approaches to language processing and analysis * Computational modeling of cognitive aspects of language
Content ------- The courses will cover the domains of language resources (digitalization, annotation, standards & technologies), grammar induction and machine learning related to languages and linguistics, quantitative linguistic analysis, cognitive models of language related faculties, computation related to text and language processing. The program covers the following courses (in random order):
* Standards for the Digital Representation of Language Data and Interoperation, Helen Aristar Dry & Anthony Aristar (Eastern Michigan University, The LINGUIST List)
* Introduction to the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines, Tomaz Erjavec, (Dept. of Knowledge Technologies, Jozef Stefan Institute)
