CMPSC 461: Programming Language Concepts Spring 2018 Programming assignment 1: Recursive Descent Parsing Total: 20 points. Due on Feb 5th at 12:20pm in Canvas. Your assignment is to use Java to write a recursive descent parser for a simplified HTML language. The lexical syntax is specified by regular expressions: Token Extended regular expression definition STRING (LETTER | DIGIT)+ KEYWORD <body> | </body> | | | | | <ul> | </ul> | <li> | </li> In the above, LETTER is any lower or upper-case letter and DIGIT is any digit. An arbitrary number of whitespace can appear between tokens. You may already know that ... is the tag for bolded text in HTML, ... for italicized text, <ul>...</ul> for an unordered list, and <li>...</li> for a list item. Note in the above syntax we use a notation for non-terminals that is different from the notation we used in lectures. The reason is that symbols < and > are terminals in the HTML language; so we can no longer use the notation <A> for non-terminals. Instead, we use names in upper-case letters for non-terminals. Therefore, in the above token syntax, KEYWORD is a non- terminal, while <body> is a string of terminals that starts with terminal < and ends with terminal >. Using the same notation, the syntax of the simplified HTML language is specified by the following E-BNF grammar, where WEBPAGE is the start non-terminal: WEBPAGE -> <body> { TEXT } </body> TEXT -> STRING | TEXT | TEXT | <ul> { LISTITEM } </ul> LISTITEM -> <li> TEXT </li> Note that { and } are meta-symbols in E-BNF. An example expression in the language is as follows: <body> google yahoo</body> This programming project is broken down into the following series of tasks. 1 1. (3 points) Write a class Token that can store the value and category of any token. 2. (7 points) Develop a lexical analyzer. You should start by drawing on paper a finite state automaton that can recognize types of tokens and then convert the automaton into code. Name the class Lexer and ensure that it has a public method nextToken() which returns a To- ken. Lexer should have a constructor with the signature Lexer(String input), where input is the string representing the query to be parsed. If nextToken() is called when no input is left, then it should return a token with category EOI (EndOfInput). If the next terminal string is not considered a token by the lexical syntax, then return a token with category Invalid. 3. (10 points) Write a syntactic analyzer which parses the tokens given by Lexer using the recursive descent technique. Name this class Parser. Like Lexer, Parser should have a public constructor with the signature Parser(String input). This input string should be used to create a Lexer object. There should also be a public method run() that will start the parse. As you parse the input, Parser should output (by writing to Sys- tem.out) the token that was matched in a new line ...

Using Machine Learning to aid Journalism at the New York Times

Vivian S. Zhang

This talk was presented to NYC Open Data Meetup Group on Nov 11, 2014. Speaker: Daeil Kim is currently a data scientist at the Times and is finishing up his Ph.D at Brown University on work related to developing scalable inference algorithms for Bayesian Nonparametric models. His work at the Times spans a variety of problems related to the company's business interests, audience development, as well as developing tools to aid journalism. Topic: This talk will focus mostly on how machine learning can help problems that prop up in journalism. We'll begin first by talking about using popular supervised learning algorithms such as regularized Logistic Regression to help assist a journalist's work in uncovering insights into a story regarding the recall of Takata airbags in cars. Afterwards, we'll think about using topic modeling to deal with large document dumps generated from FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests and Refinery, a simple web based tool to ease the implementation of such tasks. Finally, if there is time, we will go over how topic models have been extended to assist in the problem of designing an efficient recommendation engine for text-based content.

Declarative Multilingual Information Extraction with SystemT

Laura Chiticariu

Information extraction (IE), the task of extracting structured information from unstructured or semi-structured data, is increasingly important to a wide array of enterprise applications, ranging from Business Intelligence to Data-as-a-Service. In the first part of the talk, we give an overview of SystemT, a declarative IE system designed and developed to address the requirements driven by modern applications: scalability, expressivity, and transparency. SystemT is based on the basic principle underlying relational database technology: complete separation of specification from execution. SystemT uses a declarative language for expressing NLP algorithms called AQL, and an optimizer that generates high-performance algebraic execution plans for AQL rules. It makes IE orders of magnitude more scalable and easy to use, maintain and customize. Today, SystemT ships with multiple products across 4 IBM Software Brands and it being taught in universities. Our ongoing research and development efforts focus on making SystemT more usable for both technical and business users, and continuing enhancing its core functionalities based on natural language processing, machine learning, and database technology. In the second part of the talk we present POLYGLOT, a multilingual semantic role labeling system capable of semantically parsing sentences in 9 different languages from 4 different language groups. The key feature of the system is that it treats the semantic labels of the English Proposition Bank as “universal semantic labels”: Given a sentence in any of the supported languages, POLYGLOT will predict appropriate English PropBank frame and role annotation. We illustrate how these universal semantic labels can be used within SystemT to create information extractors that immediately work across different languages. In addition, we illustrate how we automatically generate Proposition Banks for new languages in order to enable multilingual SRL and discuss some challenges of crosslingual semantics.

Tip: Data Scoring: Convert data with XQuery

Geert Josten

The process of converting data is one of migrating information from an unsuitable source or format to a suitable one—often not an exact science. Data scoring is a way to measure the accuracy of your conversion. Discover a simple scoring technique in XQuery that you can apply to the result of a small text-to-XML conversion. Scoring converted data is all about analyzing the quality of the conversion. Quality can mean different things, and converting data from a database carries with it different problems than converting data from documents with more natural language. The technique that this tip presents makes no assumptions: You can apply it to any XML code of interest. To see the technique in practice, you will convert plain text—not comma-separated files, but plain text from news items grabbed from the Internet. Frequently used acronyms • HTML: Hypertext Markup Language • W3C: World Wide Web Consortium • URL: Uniform Resource Locator • XML: Extensible Markup Language • XSLT: Extensible Stylesheet Transformations

Big Data Week

We have seen vast improvements to data collection, storage, processing and transport in recent years. An increasing number of networked devices are emitting data and all of us are preparing to handle this wave of valuable data. Have we, as data professionals, been too focused on the technical challenges and analytical results? What about the data quality? Are we confident about it? How can we be sure we are making good decisions? We need to revisit methods of assessing data quality on our modernized data platforms. The quality of our decision making depends on it.
