The seminar will be divided into subprojects, each one being led by a participant in the PjS Computational Natural Language Systems in the previous year. Three tools were developed in that PjS: an automatic parser for the spoken, constrainted language of pilot-air traffic control communications; a semantic interpreter for actual transcribed cockpit speech, based on semantic parsing and attribute grammars using keyword recognition; and development of an SGML corpus of Cockpit Voice Recorder transcriptions, which incorporates various mark-ups for specific types of recognised dialog acts and speech acts. A limited number of new participants, up to 8 total, will each choose one of the three groups to work with. Various goals of project work could be: implementation of an on-line training program for pilot-ATC speech; automatic recognition and correction of non-standard phraseology; a speech-act and dialog-act formal analysis of accident flight transcripts to determine the role certain cognitive patterns may have played in the accidents.
The working language of this seminar is English. This is a required seminar for visiting Erasmus/Socrates exchange students from Ireland. The second part of this seminar will be offered in Summer Semester 2002. It is possible to join the seminar also as a Projekt-Seminar (PjS participants will be expected to accomplish more than regular seminar participants).
