1. Project topics Projects are due till the end of May Choose one of these topics or think of something else you’d like to code and send me the details (so that I can tell you if it’s suitable)

2. About the course projects  You should send me the completed project (both as source files and.exe) as well as the texts (or part of them) on which you have already tested the application.  When you send the project I also need your student information – name, Matrikelnr., SKZ.

3.  Here’s a list of project topics. You can choose one of them or think of something else and send me a proposal for another topic.  About the language – you can create system for any language you understand.

4. Concordancer Write an application that finds the instances of given words and phrases in a text. The application should also count the instances and give their surrounding context. Match the words with their corresponding POS tags using a ready system (tagger or morphological analyzer), and augment the system with the possibility to search using POS tags: e.g. it should be able to find all occurrences of “followed” + Preposition (any preposition). The output would contain all instances of “followed by”, “followed from..?”, etc.

5. Tokenizer  Create an application which segments the input text into words, sentences and paragraphs. Use dictionary of abbreviations (it may be quite short and created by you) to handle abbreviations, use also euristics to mark-up numbers and dates.  Use XML to mark-up the tokens.

6. Syntactic parser  The aim is to create an application which parses (assigns syntactic structure to) given textual input. You need to use morphological analyser (POS tagger) - it doesn’t matter which one you will choose. You also need a grammar – you can create it yourself, it should consist of at least 15 rules.

7. Front-end TTS system  Create dictionary-based front-end TTS system  The system should be able to normalize abbreviations and numbers and assign transcription to the text. Prosodic information should also be provided – that is you need to specify the phrases, sentences and paragraphs and also to indicate questions and exclamations (at least).
