Time	Subject	Assignment

-The structure of each lecture will be the following: -

ca. 75min lecture, going through the book -
ca. 15min work on computer, individually or in pairs -

- -

-In order for this to work out, it is important that enough many -have a working GF installation, including the directory -examples/tutorial. This directory is -included in the Darcs version, as well as in the updated binary -packages from 12 September. -

Purpose

-GF -(Grammatical Framework) is a grammar formalism, i.e. a special-purpose -programming language for writing grammars. It is suitable for many -natural language processing tasks, in particular, -

multilingual applications -
systems where grammar-based components are needed for e.g. - parsing, translation, or speech recognition -

- -

-The goal of the course is to develop an understanding of GF and -practical skills in using it. -

-The course consists of two modules. The first module is a one-week -intensive course (during the first intensive week of GSLT), which -is as such usable as a one-week intensive course for doctoral studies, -if completed with a small course project. -

-The second module is a larger programming project, written -by each student (possibly working in groups) during the Autumn term. -The projects are discussed during the second intensive week of GSLT -(see schedule), -and presented at a date that will be set later. -

-The first module goes through the basics of GF, including -

using the GF programming language -
writing multilingual grammars -
using the - GF resource grammar library -
generating speech recognition systems from GF grammars -
using embedded grammars as components of software systems -

- -

-The lectures follow a draft of GF book. It contains a heavily updated -version os the -GF Tutorial; -thus the on-line tutorial is not adequate for this course. To get the course -book, join the course mailing list. -

-Those who just want to do the first module will write a simple application -as their course work during and after the first intensive week. -

-Those who continue with the second module will choose a more substantial -project. Possible topics are -

building a dialogue system by using GF -
implementing a multilingual document generator -
experimenting with synthetized multilingual tree banks -
extending the GF resource grammar library -

- -

Prerequisites

-Experience in programming. No earlier natural language processing -or functional programming experience is necessary. -

-The course is thus suitable both for GSLT and NGSLT students, -and for graduate students in computer science. -

-We will in particular welcome students from the Baltic countries -who wish to build resources for their own language in GF. -
