Program

Feedback Requested

We would like to hear your preferences and suggestions on the following:

1. topics that you'd like to see discussed at the summit;
2. topics that you'd like to present at the summit;
3. the type of your presentation to be more specific, we are currently thinking of including in the program (a) shorter status reports on the research carried out in our various DELPH-IN participating institutions, and (b) longer detailed presentations on specialised DELPH-IN research issues; (c) demos of systems, tools, lingware and resources
4. your preference on tutorials; should we have a couple in this year's summit, as well?

Please email me ([email protected]) or add them directly to the wiki here:

Suggestions:

• outreach activities with the HPSG participants (FCB)
• student session
  • try to get (constructive) feedback for PhD work, rather than just give a status update.
  • see how new work can be fed back to the mainstream
  • mentoring ? it may be good to have comments/support from a DELPH-IN member not from your school
• parallel corpus comparison?
  • try to parse some text beforehand and look at issues cross-lingusitically
