IndoTimex for Indonesian Temporal Expressions

One question that got me thinking during the interviews with Google was, “Do you have any experience in building an NLP tool, like a tagger or a parser, for Indonesian language?”, and my answer was, “Well, ehem, not yet.”  I wonder why… That’s why, during the last Christmas/New Year break *while waiting for the result of the interviews*, I decided to do something for Indonesian language :”>. Actually, almost the same thing I already did for READ MORE

Top NLP/CL Conferences and Journals

I got this tips from the Research Methodology course that I took last year, which is mandatory for first year students in my PhD program: one of the first steps in the PhD study is knowing your community, i.e. the conferences and journals for your field, where people with the same interests gather and share the knowledge and their research. For Natural Language Processing or Computational Linguistics field, Google Scholar computes the ranking of publications (including READ MORE

Thesis… Submitted!

Finally, exactly 2 weeks before the D-Day a.k.a defense day, I managed to finish my thesis and submitted 3 bound copies to the university. Why 3 I’m not sure, one of them will go to university library, and I’m supposed to get one back after the defense, the other one… perhaps because I have co-supervisor in different university. I really like it that we don’t have to make a hardcover of the thesis, we just READ MORE

Four semesters… passed.

Meneruskan tradisi, seperti apa yang sebelumnya ditulis di sini, sana, dan situ. Waktu semester ketiga selesai kemarin entah kenapa mood untuk menulis enggan muncul, jadinya tak terdokumentasi deh ;p. Sekarang, empat semester terlewati sudah, sudah 2 tahun! Harusnya sih sudah lulus, tapi apa daya, thesis masih stuck di halaman introduction, hahahah. Sedikit cerita tentang kampus di Bolzano… I love it more than the one in Nancy! Kenapa? Karena kalau misalnya saya keluar dari kamar berangkat READ MORE

Tahun pertama… usai sudah.

Pulang liburan kemarin saya masih dag-dig-dug karena email berisi hasil semester II tak kunjung muncul di inbox. Tapi lalu ada teman yang memberi link situs universitas, yang tak pernah saya buka karena dalam bahasa Perancis ;p, dan ternyata nilai-nilai sudah ter-update di sana. Alhamdulillah rata-ratanya masih bisa dibilang bagus ^^, walaupun ada satu nilai yang merusak suasana, huh. Semester II ini tak seperti semester I kemarin, yang dibagi menjadi 2 bagian. Pada intinya… semester II READ MORE

Otak Manusia… Dan Isi Otak Saya ;p

Hanya sekedar ingin mendokumentasikan isi kepala, sekaligus sebagai pengingat kenapa saya sampai terdampar di sini, kalau-kalau suatu saat terlena keasyikan jalan-jalan dan lupa kuliah… Maaf kalau terlalu berat topiknya ^^; Sejak 2 hari yang lalu kuliah semester II sudah dimulai, total ada 5 mata kuliah, tapi sampai hari ini baru 4 yang kelasnya sudah dimulai: Mathematics for Computer Science *seperti Kalkulus Dasar + Logika Informatika terulang lagi -_-*, Programming for Computational Linguistics *Python + Prolog, lagi… well, READ MORE
