INTEX as an educational subjectin the Master's program in Computational Linguistics at Sofia University Svetla Koeva, Svetlozara Lesseva, Ivelina Stoyanova 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia, 28-30 May 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
The beginning • INTEX was included in the curriculum of the Master`s programme in Computational Linguistics in the academic year 2001-2002. http://compling.ibl.bas.bg • INTEX is used in teaching the subject Computer Systems for NLP. 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Main goals • To expand the students competence on formal linguistic representation. • To help students in grasping the theoretical complexity and the scope of the linguistic phenomena. • To develop the students competence on finite state automata and their application in natural language processing. 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Standard tasks for all students • Enhancing the existing Sentence boundaries delimiting FST • FST-s for the analytic cardinal and ordinal numerals in Bulgarian • FST-s for dates – Latin and Arabic numbers 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Individual tasks • DELAF and DELACF dictionaries for: historical periods and events, institutions` names, companies` names. • DELAF and DELACF dictionaries for: chemical compounds terms, botanical and zoological terms, toponyms, abbreviations. 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Individual tasks • DELACF dictionary of phraseologisms. • DELACF dictionary of frozen expressions • Decision-making in presenting the paradigms 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Some examples • Modifier + Noun head Carbon dioxide въглероден диоксид,въглероден диоксид.N+M:s въглеродния диоксид,въглероден диоксид.N+M:sh въглеродният диоксид,въглероден диоксид.N+M:sl 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Some examples • metal oxide: метален оксид, метален оксид.N+M:s металния оксид, метален оксид.N+M:sh металният оксид, метален оксид.N+M:sl метални оксиди, метален оксид.N+M:p металните оксиди, метален оксид.N+M:pd 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Individual tasks • FST-s for the analytic forms of the grammatical paradigms of verbs, nouns and adjectives. • FST-s for recognition of analytic verb forms in the indicative mood, active voice. These are the present perfect, pluperfect, future, future perfect, future in the past, future perfect in the past. • At the present moment the students develop FST-s for the passive voice of the indicative mood of all tenses, for conditional mood forms of all tenses. 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Individual tasks • A particular case is the negative tensed forms because the negative forms are always analytical and FST-s are devised for tenses which have otherwise synthetic formation. Negation patterns and question patterns have particular word order which has to be considered, too. • Some examples 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Future Perfect in the Past in Bulgarian 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Perfect tense in Bulgarian 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Result of the application of analytic_tenses.grf 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Tasks • Expansion of the existing linguistic corpus • Notations unification • Devising of bigger and richer libraries of dictionaries and FST-s 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Masters` theses • A master's thesis was written on representation of Bulgarian compound nouns in INTEX. • This year students are going to use INTEX for analysis of recognition errors for Grammar checker OCR correction. 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
Future directions • Introducing a wider range of Bulgarian researchers to INTEX. • Applying INTEX in a wider range of activities. • Enhancing the system with more resources. • Cooperation in expanding the functionalities of INTEX. 6th INTEX Workshop, Sofia 28-30 2003
