Corpora

Expertise

I create text corpora as part of my linguistic work.

I have expertise in several aspects of corpus construction:

Manual syntactic parsing with close to 100% accuracy
Design of rigid, linguistically motivated annotation guidelines
Basic natural language processing techniques like automatic parsing and POS tagging
Professional text documentation

Projects

You can see some of my corpus construction projects below.
