Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of current computational approaches to lexical semantics. By exploring both stochastic and formalized models students will be able to compare them and to identify their strengths and limitations. Units of analysis covered in this course will include words with their morpho-syntactic features as well as multi-word expressions and grammatical constructions.
At the end of this course students will be able to:
- identify, extract and describe morpho-syntactic features by means
of computational tools;
- identify, extract and describe multi-word expressions and
grammatical constructions by means of computational tools;
- model the meaning of lexical items in terms of vector spaces;
- construct various types of grammars relevant for lexical semantics
analysis;
