Workshop/Hackathon for the Wordnet Bahasa (2014)

This is a short focused workshop with two themes: improving the Wordnet Bahasa and improving integration of wordnets with grammars. The goal will be to have a few short presentations, a lot of discussion and as much actual coding as we can.

Topics

• How can we improve the WN Bahasa?
• What resources can we use?
• How can we integrate the wordnet with a (Head-driven Phrase Structure) Grammar?
