Dear all,
next monday, Tylman will continue his talk on PCFGs.
However, there will probably be some time left for me to present how I
have tried to learn NP-chunks on the DEREKObaum-treebank with TIMBL.
 
As preparatory (re-) reading I'd suggest the famous Abney-paper on
NP-chunks
(http://www.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/~abney/Abney_90e.ps.gz)  and - as
a link to Tylman's part - the paper written by our colleagues from
Stuttgart, Schmidt and Schulte im Walde, who have tried to learn
NP-chunks with a PCFG
(http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/~schulte/Paper/coling-00b.ps.gz).

Both papers can also be found in the Seminar-folder.
