Clippers: A computational linguistics discussion group (Meurers, 795Y, Winter 2004)

Clippers is our forum for informal discussion of all issues related to computational linguistics: from work in progress of visitors and people in the department, over presentation of new papers, to practical concerns such as hints on the use of CL related software tools.

Everyone with an interest in computational linguistics is most welcome!

To see what happened in previous quarters of Clippers, you can check out the pages of some previous quarters: Autumn 03, Spring 03, Winter 03, Autumn 02, Spring 02, Autumn 01
