Clippers

This is a weekly forum open to anyone with an interest in computational linguistics. We plan a varied schedule of work in progress presentations and general discussion. We're aiming to keep things accessible to anyone with a basic understanding of linguistics. Computational linguists or potential computational linguists should attend on a regular basis and may sign up for 1 hour of credit. Others (including undergraduates) are welcome to drop in on an ad hoc basis.

The instigators are the CLLT faculty (Brew, Dennis, Fosler-Lussier, Petrov, White). We're calling it Clippers, following the example of the other spirited discussion groups in the Linguistics department: Phonies, Pragmatics, the Psycholinguistics Lab Meeting, and Synners. If you want you can think of the name as a quasi-acronym for Computational Linguistics and Information Processing - or freely associate with man-made artefacts, nature, and Columbus.

Important: Please be sure to subscribe to our local computational linguistics mailing list on which all Clippers sessions and talks are announced.

This quarter we will meet in Hagerty Hall 071, 1:30-2:48. The plan, as usual, is to start each session with 10-15 minutes of open discussion — usually consisting of news, announcements and the Paul Davis Moment — and then to continue with the following topics:
