		<description><![CDATA[David Willis asked about the feasibility of using the Autoglosser to tag texts in his Historical Corpus of Welsh.  It proved easier than expected to do a proof-of-concept: set up the Autoglosser to import from running monolingual text instead of conversational bilingual text, and then let everything else (lookup, constraint grammar and write-out) work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did a presentation last Friday at the ESRC Centre, focussing on using the Autoglosser output to pull stuff out of the corpora.  It was interesting to note that over the last 7 months we&#8217;ve moved quite a distance in this direction, with about 6 different areas where the autoglossing is able to assist [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just back from a day at ITA11 in Wrexham, where I presented a paper giving a broad overview of the Autoglosser (now published in the conference Proceedings).  The session was on web content, so this fitted in well, but much of the rest of the conference was more technical.  There seems to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I presented our paper last week in Oslo.  ISB8 was a great experience!  The accuracy comparison showed that the Augotglosser was on a par with CLAN&#8217;s MOR tagger for Spanish (97.4%), and within 2% of human tagging for Welsh (97.9%).  The final presentation is available here.

We&#8217;ll be using texts from the ESRC Centre&#8217;s Miami and Siarad corpora to test the coverage and accuracy of the autoglosser, and compare its output to CLAN&#8217;s MOR/POST [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the transcription workshop last month, Jens Normann Jørgensen showed some graphics which mapped the development of a bilingual conversation over time, and they struck me as a very interesting way of trying to grasp the overall profile of the conversation.  This inspired me to see if I could use R to produce something [...]]]></description>

Professor Brian MacWhinney, from Carnegie Mellon University, the originator of the CLAN software and the Talkbank repository, was the guest speaker.  There were 11 other presentations from speakers from as far [...]]]></description>

So that was the first place to look when I wanted a Spanish dictionary to use with the Bangor Autoglosser.  However, the dictionaries are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been doing some work over the past few weeks with the ESRC Centre for Research on Bilingualism at Bangor University, focussing on autoglossing their Welsh and Spanish conversation transcripts.  As part of that, I&#8217;ve been using Constraint Grammar again as a possible approach to disambiguating words in the text.
Fran Tyers introduced me to [...]]]></description>
