- Course objectives
- The goal of the course is to provide the students with state-of-the-art in formal description of syntax with regard to its computational processing and automatic syntactic analysis (parsing). Students will be able to understand and use formal methods for description of syntax together with related methods and algorithms for syntactic analysis. Next, they will have an opportunity to work with the syntactically annotated text corpora or with particular syntactic parsers which are designed for Czech language.
- Learning outcomes
- After completion of this course a student will be able:
- to describe the process of syntactic analysis,
- to understand differences between dependency and component approach,
- to work with the syntactically annotated text corpora,
- to understand formal methods for description of syntax,
- to work with specific syntactit parsers at basic level. - Syllabus
