Núcleo Interinstitucional de Lingüística Computacional

 

 

An Interinstitutional Center for Research and Development in Computational Linguistics

SciPo

Tool for Scientific Writing in Brazilian Portuguese

 

Starting Time: 2000

Current Status

Ongoing PhD project (ending in 2004)

Goals

To design, implement and evaluate a computational environment for supporting scientific writing in Brazilian Portuguese.


Main Features of the Project

Based on Project AMADEUS (for scientific writing in English by non-native writers).
Use of a tagged corpus of authentic scientific texts (abstracts and introductions of theses and dissertations in Computer Science).
Use of a statistical classifier of Argumentative Zones (based on Teufel and Moens' work).


Expected
Results

An original environment for scientific writing in Portuguese including an automatic critiquer of academic abstracts in Portuguese.
