Course Content (Syllabus)
Creation of linguistic tools for information extraction. In particular, we are on the borderline between lexical analysis and syntactic analysis. The course examines mainly, technical words (simple and compound), certain technical or specialized expressions (for instance dates or acronyms), disambiguation by applying grammars, which need a context recognition. Grammars are implemented in the form of finite automata or finite transducers :
