Natural Language Processing with Python
Emilio Assuncao has a B.A. in Linguistics from McGill, and is now a B.Comp.Sci student at Concordia. He has written Natural Language Processing software in Python and is working as a Machine Learning Intern at Société Générale, also in Python.
Participants will need a laptop, and it is recommended that they have Python 3.5.3 and the NLTK downloaded on their computer
Syntax And Language Variation
Typology is the branch of linguistics dedicated to classifying languages according to structural aspects. Research in this area is often interesting for its own sake, but linguists working within a specific language also draw on conclusions from typology to help guide or support their research. This workshop will constitute a basic introduction to syntax typology, covering language similarities and syntactic classifications. It is designed to be accessible and open to participants without experience with syntax or extensive linguistic training.
