Detecting Code-Switch Events Based on Textual Features

My thesis is finally printed and now also available as PDF. It is called Detecting Code-Switch Events Based on Textual Features and focuses on the detection of Code-Switching between English and Mandarin Chinese. I already found a typo, but I'd keep it with the Latin proverb, errare humanum est :)

Graduation

So it is official. I graduated and can now call myself a "Dipl. Inform.", the German equivalence to a Master in Computer Science (and the minimum grade admitting you to a Ph.D. in CS). While my University (that is Karlsruhe) still keeps me busy with slight corrections of my final thesis, I at least can slowly set my mind on new things.

Minimising the perceptron criterion function

For creating an example to demonstrate how to train an artificial neuron with a simple training algorithm I created a spreadsheet that trains the neuron given a truth table, initial weights and a learning rate.

It therefore uses the perceptron criterion function to train a single neuron, by adding the values of misclassified inputs to the weights in batch mode.
