Course objectives
This course will be offered in the autumn semester 2016 only! It follows the tradition of courses PLIN025 and PLIN023 that will continue from the following term. The unique feature of this course is that it will be mostly focused on a very interesting topic, namely on automatic identification of spoken language, presented to students by members of top Czech institutes dealing with this issue. It is necessary to point out that this is a unique opportunity that can hardly be repeated. The course is aimed especially at students of the field of study Czech Language with the Focus on Computational Linguistics, but it is open also to students of Czech Language and Literature as well as to students of other philological fields of study. Financial costs of the excursions will be partly refunded to students in the form of a scholarship. (The course is implemented in registration and control templates of study fields focused on Czech language.)
Syllabus
  • The main topic of the course will be an insight into issues of automatic identification of speech. The course will be open on 5th and 6th September with a two-day workshop led by experts from Brno University of Technology (doc. Jan Černocký and doc. Lukáš Burget). Only students from the field of study Czech Language with the Focus on Computational Linguistics can take part in the workshop (they have been informed about its contents and conditions of participation in a special e-mail). The course will also include lectures and excursions in which students of Czech Language and Literature as well as to students of other philological fields of study can also participate, without any particular training in the field of computational linguistics. Lectures, the structure of which is supposed to attract also laymen, will be again focused especially on introduction to issues of automatic identification of spoken language. Participation was preliminary promised by doc. Ing. Jindřich Matoušek, Ph.D., of University of Western Bohemia (http://www.kky.zcu.cz/) and Professor Ing. Jan Nouza, CSc., of Technical University of Liberec (http://www.ite.tul.cz/speechlab/). The offer will be complemented by excursions to Czech Broadcasting in Brno and to etymological and dialectological sections of the Institute of the Czech Language in Brno and also to Prague – to the Department of Theoretical and Computational Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, Charles University and to the Language Guidance Centre at the Institute of the Czech Language or by other events according to the current situation. Lectures and excursions usually take place on Fridays (but not every Friday). A schedule of the course will be specified at the beginning of the term.
Literature
  • Literature will be assigned to students presently in relation to topics of lectures and to the profile of the visited linguistic institutions.
Teaching methods
The stress will be especially on active interest of students in issues presented within the offered activities. Conditions for participation in the workshop will be announced to students in a special e-mail.
Assessment methods
To complete the course successfully, it is necessary to participate actively at least in four events (including at least one lecture and one excursion) and to submit assigned tasks relating to those activities. The requirement of participation in other events will be modified for students, who will participate in the workshop.
