We
shall required several natural language processing tools for the
laboratories in this course. Additionally, we shall provide
additional public domain software tools and others for non-commercial
use, as distributed on cd-roms provided during the first and second
weeks.
We shall primarily be using Athena to run course software. The
laboratory sessions are scheduled in a dedicated Athena cluster for
this purposek along with a TA to answer questions. (If you do not have
an Athena account, please tell us and it shall be arranged.)
However, if all goes well, then we shall also be able to provide
packaged software for you to download and use on your Linux, Mac, or
Windoze machine, sufficient to run the first three laboratories in
full. We shall also provide two cd-roms to each class member that
contain a wealth of valuable natural language processing software, for
use in the final projects or for deeper understanding of the course
material.
Watch this space for additional documentation on the software tools as
it become available, within the week.
We will also be providing links to additional natural
language processing software week by week, relevant to the topics at
hand.
