Contents

The course gives an introduction to methods and algorithms used in automatic syntactic analysis and provides the skills that are required to apply and implement practical systems based on these methods. The course covers both phrase structure analysis and dependency analysis.

Examination

The course examination is split into four assignments and one seminar. The following grading system will be used both for the complete course and for all assignments: Fail (Underkänd, U), Pass (Godkänd, G), Pass with Distinction (Väl Godkänd, VG). The grade for course will be G if you get at least G on all assignments and the seminar, VG if you also get the grade VG on at least two of the assignments, and U otherwise.

Deadlines

Each assignment has a deadline, which will be announced well in advance. In case you fail to meet the deadline, you have the chance to re-submit the assignment for a second deadline, two weeks after the first one. In case you fail to meet even the second deadline, the corresponding assignment will be graded as Fail (U). (See Språkteknologiprogrammens Policy för examination [in Swedish]).

Assignments

Final seminar

During the final seminar we will discuss issues related to the assignment and to the course in general. In order to get a passing grad on the seminar you need to prepare for it, and be active during the seminar. Detailed description

The final seminar is obligatory. If you miss it you will have to do a complementary task. Contact Sara if this is the case.
