The integration of CL resources in CALL for Irish in the primary school context
It is difficult to integrate Computational Linguistics (CL) techniques in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) artefacts. The Computational Linguistics Integrated in CALL for Irish (CLICI) research1 presented in this dissertation aims to re-use existing CL resources and where suitable ones do …

Algorithms for learning to induce programs
… obstacles. Focusing on case studies in vision, computational linguistics, and learning-to-learn, we develop an algorithmic toolkit for learning inductive biases over programs as well as learning to search for programs, drawing on probabilistic, neural, and symbolic methods. Together this toolkit …
