(Our definition of pragmatics of automated systems: the study and hands-on experience of using these systems on common examples and realistic applications.)
We have 13 lab sessions dedicated to pragmatics, the lab sessions will go through details on using these systems, including live coding and going over important features, as well as explaining relevant concepts. Notes and code snippets from the labs will be posted in this github repository https://github.com/KinanBab/CS591K1-Labs
The plan for these sessions is as follows:
We will be cherry picking examples from the following tutorials and references, and occasionally assign pieces of them as reading/practice material:
Just as for the foundations, there is far more material in these references than can be reasonably covered in a single semester. Our hope is that our coverage in Spring 2019, however limited, will be enough motivation for a more thorough study of the pragmatics of these automated systems and of their adaptation to particular areas of research beyond this course.
These resources are more detailed and almost exhaustive of the features of the different systems. They are intended to help you go deeper into certain topics of interest, and to help you in your project work (if you choose to work on the pragmatics):
Note: [VFPA] is not available for free down (except for the Preface and Chapter 1 [VFPA-1]). Instructors will provide students that need it for project or extra work with appropriate access on demand.
