Natural Language Processing is an area that is becoming more and more popular in Russia. But there are practically no separate resources devoted to this topic in runet. Six months ago,
HLP was represented by
NLPub , a catalog of resources on computational linguistics. But what if you want to read the news? You can try to start with the blog
mathlingvo.ru
')
One of the largest linguistic resources in the world is
LinguistList . On average, about 10-15 messages are published there on a day, including announcements about schools and conferences, announcements of new books, and even obituaries. It is possible to subscribe only to certain types of messages, such as job openings or new books. Unfortunately, subscribing to topics is impossible. Therefore, information about computational linguistics will have to be caught in any case from the general stream.
From specialized resources dedicated to Natural Language Processing, I would like to mention
nlppeople . This is an international job posting board for automatic language processing. Unfortunately, except for vacancies, nothing is published there.
In the Russian-speaking linguistic community, the main newsletter is
Mosling , the distribution of Moscow linguists, which publishes announcements of events not only in Moscow, but also in other cities and even countries. Information about computational linguistics is enough, but a lot of information about other areas. There is a similar St. Petersburg mailing
list spb_ling .
Mathlingvo, on the contrary, concentrates on information about computational linguistics. The blog does not claim to be complete, it is only two people, but all the information is relevant to the automatic processing of the language. The authors cover interesting news first of all by him.
What is published in the blog?
The authors try to cover a variety of topics related to computational linguistics. Announcements about schools and conferences, including those from LinguistList and Mosling, vacancies, new resources for linguistic development, announcements of competitions and internships, new scientific journals, etc. Recently, “editorial” posts have appeared, for example, the post
“How to become a good computer linguist” is quite worthy of Habra.
Who is blogging?
Now the blog has two regular authors:
-
Dmitry Granovsky , developer of the Yandex linguistic department, teacher at the Department of St. Petersburg State University
-
Lidia Pivovarova - Postgraduate Student, University of Helsinki, Lecturer
Department of St. Petersburg State University, the organizer of the famous in St. Petersburg
seminar on automatic text processing .
How to read?
For those who use readers on the site there is a link to RSS (you can even subscribe to new comments). There is also a broadcast on
Twitter and
Facebook .
How can I help you?
The easiest and most effective way is to replenish the number of authors. The blog gives you the opportunity to
offer news editorial . You can offer not only news, but also relevant vacancies, a description of an interesting, but for some reason unknown resource, even tell about your project in the field of automatic processing of natural language.
The project is completely non-commercial, all publications are absolutely free (even about vacancies). Therefore, the project would like to attract new authors to reduce the burden on existing ones.
And of course the project will be glad to new readers.
