Welcome to the HLP/Jaeger lab main page. For more information on the lab, make sure to also visit our public website.

What's going on in the lab?

• Lab Meetings provide a forum for discussing recent literature, providing grad level tutorials on technical or formal issues, and for keeping each other up-to-date about ongoing projects. We meet weekly for 1.5 hours (during the semester).

  • Autumn 15 schedule

  • Summer 15 schedule

  • Spring 15 schedule

  • Lab meetings (SP08 to AU14)

• RA Meetings are intended to provide training for RAs and to have a forum where RAs and other lab members can meet and talk about their projects. All RAs should be in the lab during this weekly 1.5 hour meeting since it's also the easiest way to contact RAs.

  • RA meeting Autumn 09 schedule

  • RA meeting Spring 09 schedule

  • What are the RAs working on?

  • RA meeting Spring 2010 schedule

  • RA meeting Autumn 2012 schedule

Guidelines and Information for Lab Members

This section provides information about where to find what resources as well as guidelines that are meant to ensure that we will still be capable of finding things in the future. It's important that everyone follows these guidelines in order to ensure replicability of results obtained in this lab, be it corpus-based studies or experiments.

The first section provides general information and some tutorials on standard pieces of software and the computational setup. The remaining sections provide guidelines and more information on conduction corpus-based studies and experiments, respectively.
