    Dear all,
        Interactive websites for teaching NLP and corpus linguistics

    Do you know of any neat websites that could be used to demo and teach
    about NLP and corpus linguistics?

    I am surveying what is available, either produced for teaching or which
    (like some product demos) could play a useful role in teaching. My
    goals are both for input to our MSc (Lexical Computing and Lexicography)
    and as a small research project into the web and pedagogy (with ref to
    NLP/corpus linguistics).
      
    Feedback from students and teachers about how well the sites supported
    student learning are of particular interest.

    Items of most interest are those that do not have access restrictions,
    do not involve installing anything and will make sense to decent
    linguistics majors (eg not too specialist)

    Examples/items already on my list include:

    NLP Research
        Dekang Lin's parser, dependency database, corpus-based word clusters
    etc http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lindek/demos.htm
        Rada Mihalcea and Tim Chklovski's OpenMind page for doing manual WSD
    http://teach-computers.org/word-expert.html
        Waspbench: http://wasps.itri.bton.ac.uk

    Web research
        Google labs - sets function
            (also now-almost-standard search engine functions like
    translation, access to online dictionaries, view-as-html, similar-pages)
        citeseer

    NLP commercial
        Conexor tagger and parser

    Corpus query
        BNC online
        Tomaz Erjavec's Multext-east bilingual concordancing
        Mark Davies's corpus lingustics (in Spanish)
    http://mdavies.for.ilstu.edu/hisspan

    Other - computer science
        Regexp learning:
    http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/courses/MScLex/exercises/regex
       
    Don't quite meet the criteria as they're not very interactive but worth
    including nonetheless-
        Corpora's own archive, plus indexes into it from http://www.siglex.org
        WordNet

    If I get much interest, I'll post a summary.

    Thanks very much,

            Adam Kilgarriff
