    Subject: Teaching resources for statistical NLP


    Dear all,

    I am developing a web-based course on statistical NLP, part of which will be an "archive" of data, tools and other resources that can be used for student projects. I am grateful for all contributions, either in the form of actual stuff that I can install on our server and make available to the community, or in the form of links to other web sites where the material is available. A general condition is that the material should be freely available, so that students can download it and use it without hassle.

    If you want to have a look at the course and the resources collected so far, you will find it at: http://www.ling.gu.se/~nivre/kurser/wwwstat/index.html All comments and suggestions are welcome, but remember that the site is still under construction.

    Best regards, Joakim Nivre

    RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF COMPARLINGAFRIC MAILING LIST

    Recently, at the final session of the 7th Nilo-Saharan Linguistic Conference held in Vienna ( Sept.2.-6., 1998), it was proposed to extend the scope of interest of ComparLingAfric to the WHOLE FIELD of AFRICAN LINGUISTIC.

    It was proposed not to restrict ComparLingAfric to the specialized comparative and genetic approaches to the languages of Africa any more, but to focus on the whole complex of research in African languages, including their description and analysis.

    HENCE,

    AS FROM NOW , COMPARLINGAFRIC IS AVAILABLE FOR THE WHOLE COMPLEX OF RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LANGUAGES.

    CONTRIBUTIONS CAN BE POSTED EITHER IN ENGLISH OR IN FRENCH.

    LES CONTRIBUTIONS PEUVENT ETRE POSTEES EN FRANCAIS OU EN ANGLAIS
