GUIDELINES for the PAPER

The lecturers propose a list of topics which relate to their classes but you can also take a topic of your own choice, on condition, of course, that it relates to the computational processing of written or spoken language. If you are doing an internship as part of your study, the topic may relate to the work for your internship, on condition that the paper is complementary to your internship report.
