Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

- methods for the representation, generation, processing and usage of multilingual language resources, including Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) and linguistic data science in general
- multilingual and cross-lingual methods to assist communication with language resources and computational linguistic approaches
- practical examples for the above methods

Methods:
- theoretical introduction to different language resources
- theoretical introduction to different multilingual and cross-lingual methods for language technologies, e.g. word embeddings and LLOD
- theoretical discussion of the current state of the art
- practical case studies for multilingual and cross-lingual resources and methods

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam and bonus points.

Written exam with open questions at the end of the semester.

Bonus points: There will be two types of ways to acquire bonus points. First, student presentations of contents are encouraged and details will be provided at the beginning of the semester. Second, additional programming exercises will be made available within the course of the semseter.

Giving a presentation or completing these programming exercises will grant you bonus points that count towards the final written exam.

Can I pass the lecture solely based on bonus points?
No, bonus points alone are insufficient to obtain a positive final evaluation of the lecture. However, a negative result on the written exam that was almost a pass might be turned positive due to bonus points.

Do I require bonus points to obtain the total number of points on the written exam?
No, the total number of points on the final written exam can be obtained without bonus points. There will be no disadvantage for you if you do not have any bonus points. However, if you do obtain bonus points, your grade can improve by up to maximum one grade (e.g. if you obtain a good 3, the bonus points might boost your grade to a 2).

How can I keep track of my bonus points?
Your bonus points will be documented on the Moodle page of the lecture.

How long are the obtained bonus points valid?
The bonus points are at maximum valid until the end of the semester following the semester of the lecture (e.g. lecture 2022W - bonus points are valid for all 4 exams of the following semester)
