Research projects
Ongoing
Automatically Annotated Repository of Digital Video and Audio Resources Community (AARDVARC)
Award Number: 1244713; Principal Investigator: Helen Aristar-Dry; Co-Principal Investigator: Anthony Aristar, Damir Cavar; Organization: Eastern Michigan University; NSF Organization: BCS Award Date: 09/15/2012; Award Amount: $ 84,982.00. Collaborative grant: PI Douglas H. Whalen, CUNY.
The Croatian Language Corpus (CLC) (Hrvatski jezični korpus)
is a joint project with the Institute for Croatian Language and Linguistics, as part of the program "Croatian Online Language Repository", in cooperation with Dunja Brozović-Rončević, Małgorzata E. Ćavar, Tomislav Stojanov. The CLC is a text corpus of Croatian literature, newspapers and other genres, encoded in XML on the basis of the TEI P5 standard, made available online using the Philologic interface. Currently additional interfaces are being developed and tested, to extend the online usability and user experience, when working with the corpus. The corpus is being annotated phonemically and morphologically and syntactically parsed. We ported an initial hand-crafted morphological analyzer to XFST, and we are working on a Croatian LFG grammar for XLE for syntactic parsing and functional markup. An extended search interface that allows for online retrieval of linguistic annotations and structures at these linguistic levels will be provided in the near future.
Semantic Nets and Computational Lexicology
This project is part of a research program at the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics (IHJJ), funded by the Ministry of Research, Education, and Sports of the Republic of Croatia, since November 2006. Several researchers at the University of Zadar and the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics are affiliated with it.
The Scheme Natural Language Toolkit (SNLTK)
This project is a no-budget project to develop a Scheme and Racket implementation of libraries and functionality for the analysis and processing of text, language and linguistic data. This project is open to all interested parties, and mainly supported by the Schemers or Racketeers in Zadar, and myself.
