Natural Language Processing Techniques for Managing Legal Resources on the Semantic Web — Tutorial Slides

I gave a tutorial on natural language processing for legal resource management at the International Conference on Legal Information Systems (JURIX) 2009 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The slides are available below. Comments welcome.
The following people attended:

  • Andras Forhecz, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary
  • Ales Gola, Ministry of Interior of Czech Republic
  • Harold Hoffman, University Krems, Austria
  • Czeslaw Jedrzejek, Poznan University of Technology, Poland
  • Manuel Maarek, INRIA Grenoble, Rhone-Alpes
  • Michael Sonntag, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria
  • Vit Stastny, Ministry of Interior of Czech Republic

I thank the participants for their comments and look forward to continuing the discussions which we started in the tutorial.
At the link, one can find the slides. Comments are very welcome. The file is 2.2MB. The slides were originally prepared using Open Office’s Impress, then converted to PowerPoint.
Natural Language Processing Techniques for Managing Legal Resources on the Semantic Web
There is a bit more in the slides than was presented at the tutorial, covering in addition ontologies, parsers, and semantic interpreters.
In the coming weeks, I will make available additional detailed instructions as well as gazetteers and JAPE rules. I also plan to continue to add additional text mining materials.
