Laboratory Assignments

Below is a tentative schedule of laboratory assignments for the course.  Note that each laboratory will generally consist of (1) a set of background readings on the computational and linguistic theory behind the assignment; (2) a set of 'warm-up' preparatory exercises to gain familiarity with the software and the assignment domain, perhaps including some non-computer problems; and (3) the main assignment itself, which will be computer-based. Instructions for using the software for each laboratory will be provided.
