Hello folks,
This is regarding a seminar to be held tomorrow on Fri
25th August 2000 on
Named-Entity Recognition in Information Extraction
using JavaCC and JJTree
The details are as follows:
Date : 25th August 2000, 6:30 pm
------
Venue : Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu
------
Speaker : Jayprasad J Hegde, KBCS Division, NCST
--------
Abstract :
----------
JavaCC and JJTree are Java-based language-processing
tools which are
intended as replacements for the C-based Lex and Yacc
tools.
JavaCC is primarily a syntax-analyzer creation tool.
It allows the user
to create a syntax analyzer by forming rules about the
sentences to be
identified as proper in the language being analyzed
(in our case, English).
JJTree is a front end for JavaCC and helps build a
parse tree. A parse tree
is the internal depiction of the structure of a
sentence.
In this seminar, we will look at creating a
named-entity recognition system
which is an important subtask of Information
Extraction. We will in the
process introduce the JavaCC and JJTree tools.
About the Speaker:
------------------
Jayprasad Hegde is a Staff Scientist with the
Knowledge Based
Computing Systems at NCST.
His research interest includes applications of
Natural Language Technology
(primarily Machine Aided Translation and Information
Extraction) and
Evolutionary Programming (Genetic Algorithms and
Genetic Programming).

Title : Introduction to PHP
------
Date : 18th August 2000
-----
Venue : Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu
-----
Speaker : Amrish Chaubal, DBOIS Division, NCST
--------
Abstract:
--------
PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server side embedded scripting language.
It works within a HTML document to confer to it the capacity of
generating content on demand. PHP was designed to work on the web and
in this ambit it excels; connecting and querying a database is a
simple task that can be handled conveniently. One of the interesting things
PHP does is handle image generation and manipulation i.e. creating the images
on the fly and much more than this. The PHP engine is well optimized for the
response times needed for web applications and can even be a part of the web server
itself improving the throughput a lot.
The topics to be covered would be as follows:
The PHP language structure and syntax, including its data type,
operators, statements and functions. The myriad of PHP modules that greatly
enhance its capabilities and finally, Server Side Programming.
