- Why I come to THATCamp Piedmont:
- I am looking for practitioners of NLP in a language and literature teaching context since I am working on Using NLP tools to automate production and correction of interactive learning material (presented at Calico 2012)
- for the Learning Exercise Creation Engines (presented at EUROCALL 2007) I developed.
- A little about myself:
- My Ph.D. thesis expanded the close reading of textual variants in the German editorial schools of Hans Zäch and the use of the computer-generated textual concordances in the interpretation and selection of textual variants into a corpus linguistic-inspired approach, that traced Leitmotifs in the work (partially first digitized by myself) of the foremost Swiss-German classic as a digital corpus using Regular Expressions programming.
- I have since applied my corpus linguistic approach to
- the use of machine translation software
- the automation of learning material creation (glossing, question generation, differentiation) on the basis of natural language processing of textual (film subtitles, news) corpora.
