Hinkelman, CILS 5/13 16:00 Wb 130 Workshop Pragmatics of Language 5/14 16:00 Wb 408 Workshop Mark Turner, Univ. of Maryland - ------------------------------ MONDAY, MAY 13 2:30 p.m. Elizabeth A. Hinkelman (eliz@clove.uchicago.edu) Ry 277 Center for Information and Language Studies Software Evaluation Using The Natural Language Software Registry The Natural Language Software Registry was established to facilitate the exchange and evaluation of noncommercial and commercial software. This presentation describes the activities of the Registry, the nature of survey information collected about natural language software, and trends that emerge when the software is evaluated using this information. In particular, although many natural language systems show good separation of code and data, their reusability is hampered by unavailability of stable source code, lack of modularity in design, and the extensive effort needed to develop either lexicons and grammars for a new language, or knowledge representation for new domains. Finally, extensive testing of individual software items complements the survey methodology. One case study substantiated developer claims and illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of the survey methodology. ***** 4:00 p.m. Workshop Wb 130 The Pragmatics of Language For more information, please contact Jerrold Sadock, Department of Linguistics (2-8524, sadock@sapir) or Josef Stern, Department of Philosophy (2-8594, j06s@midway). _____________ TUESDAY, MAY 14 4:00 p.m. Workshop Wb 408 Language and Thought Mark Turner, Dept. of English, University of Maryland "Texts and Brains" This presentation pertains to Professor Turner's forthcoming book "Reading Minds: The Study of English in the Age of Cognitive Science," forthcoming from Princeton UP. Readings will be available as of Wednesday, May 1, in Cl 11. For more information, please contact Paula Schiller (733-0915). New participants are welcome. - ----------- End of CILS Calendar ------------------------------ End of NL-KR Digest *******************
