Dear INLP students,

due to the new directives (all courses go online), we propose you the following setup for our class in the coming weeks:

  • lectures will still be available by pre-recorded videos
  • in order not to overwhelm you but to still keep contact, the review slots will be modified as follows:
    • available to all the groups every week (except this week, see "Bootstrap" below);
    • reduced to 45 min;
    • covering the current week (rather than the last 3 weeks);
    • on-line (Zoom meeting: 652 787 111 (https://epfl.zoom.us/j/652787111));
  • the hands-on (green) slot will remain unchanged but be on-line (Zoom meeting: 652 787 111 (https://epfl.zoom.us/j/652787111));
  • the practical session ("PS"; green) slots will be on your own (home work): both the handout and the solution will be available; practice them home and ask question on the forum if needed;
  • the "exercises" (purple) slots are also on you own (home work);
  • quizzes will remain unchanged.
So basically we offer you two 45-min slots of on-line contact every week (with exceptions):
  • one for review the current lecture (= the same week)
  • and one for hands-on (when there is no practical session instead).
The question is: when shall we offer you these two slots?
Since the 8-9 slot is sometimes occupied by quizzes, we propose you these two: https://moodlearchive.epfl.ch/2020-2021/mod/choice/view.php?id=1107741 (available from the "Poll" section on the Moodle main page of the course);
Please answer that poll before Wednesday 8:30pm. Don't answer if you don't care.

Bootstrap:
since group C didn't had their review of the morphology class yet,
and since group B would lack their review for PoS tagging + HMM next week (when the above plan will be implemented [45 min review on parsing ONLY]), I'll proceed as follow this very Wednesday:
Zoom meeting: 652 787 111 (https://epfl.zoom.us/j/652787111):
  • 8:15-9:00 group C: review of morphology lesson
  • 9:15-10:00 groups B and C: review of PoS tagging.
(everybody is of course welcome if they want to attend; but groups A and B already had (some of) that content; so don't waste your time)

And of course, as usual, feel free to ask any question (or share any comment) on our forum.

The results of the poll are...

9:15-11:15: 16
10:15-12:00: 15
don't care: 9
no vote: 36

so it'll be from 9:15 to 11:15.

Re: New organization

as a reminder follow-up of my former message about organization, let me recap how it will go tomorrow:

  • from 8:15 to 9:00: second graded quiz
  • from 9:15 to ~11:00: on Zoom (652 787 111) lecture review, by Martin, on Parsing
Since we started a new topic (parsing) and you don't know yet much "how-to", there is no point doing a "hands-on" on that topic this week; only a review.

just to be clear: tomorrow:

Regarding the practical session, as usual this year: practice by your own.
The solution can be found there: https://coling.epfl.ch/TP/corr/TP-parsing-sol.php.

Notice also that, starting from tomorrow and till Sunday November 22, the Indicative Student Feedback on Teaching will be open on IS-Accademia. Please express yourself!
