After our meeting of Weds Sept 22 at 5:30pm, our next meeting will be on Thursday Sept 30 at 2pm. At that meeting Jason will discuss a number of different measures of text similarity. These include Bleu, GTM, and GST.
Bleu is a well known MT evaluation measure... http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/P/P02/P02-1040.pdf GTM is another MT evaluation measure... http://nlp.cs.nyu.edu/GTM/ GST is Greedy String Tiling which is used in the Meter text re-use project, as well as in bioinformatics! http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/research/groups/nlp/meter/Workshop/workshop.htm http://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/~mw263/bioinformatics.html#neweyes http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=236525 Please make sure you have reviewed this material before our meeting, and then Jason will take us through the details. This is a fairly common format for our meetings, where one of you will review and present other work, usually related to your thesis topic. I'll contact you individually to arrange such presentations, whenever that seems appropriate. For your planning purposes, we will either have a meeting on Monday Oct 4 with Jill Burstein, or we'll have a regular group meeting on Thursday Oct 7. We will *not* have a meeting Thursday Oct 14, then we'll have meetings Thursday Oct 21 and Thursday Oct 28. All of the Thursday meetings will be at 2pm in HH 321.
