Sooo, Natural Language Processing tomorrow. I’m doomed. The name should’ve given it away really. I know nothing about language. I, like Kieran, was hoping for a little more processing than we actually got. No matter how hard I try, it just refuses to sink in. I tried researching an algorithm we used (I’m normally quite good with such ‘doing’ questions). Here’s what I found:

Head noun emphasis: any NP not contained in another NP, using the Slot Grammar notion of “containment within a phrase”.

I’m sorry, what?

However, I must persevere. As much as I want to throw in the towel and go do something fun, I can’t. At least, not just yet. Maybe a few more hours of banging my head against a wall and I’ll be at that stage.
