Computer Science 4750 (Fall 2016): Assignments

All assignment code must be written in Python. Your Python code is only allowed to use language-internal features and the language-standard packages "io" and "sys" and must run on the MUN Computer Science departmental Labnet systems (on which assignments will be marked). Any use of packages such as "nltk" or "openFST" written in Python or any other language that gives NLP functionality will result in an assignment mark of zero.
Late assignments will only be accepted on medical or bereavement grounds; in these cases, documentation must be provided, e.g., a doctor's note.
University regulations wrt academic dishonesty will be applied if necessary (see Section 6.12 of the University Regulations in the MUN 2016-2017 Calendar).

Depending on the assignment instructions, you will submit program code electronically by the date and time specified in the assignment.

I screwed up in my verbal presentations in class -- as rules are stated in terms of transforming lexical into surface forms, lexical forms are lower forms and surface forms are upper forms. Hence, all FST examples in the course diary and example FST given in this assignment are correct. I have added corrective clarifications in the text of this assignment as well as in Lectures #10 and 15 in the course diary.
