CS5604 --- Lab Session 2
This session should allow people to catch up on various
exercises, and to discuss those exercises with peers
and the instructor.
Here are some suggestions about particular activities to
undertake.
- Use the Mac client to search OED 2 using PAT:
- In McB 102 use either beastie or curly.
- Open folder Applications and then VT DCIS.
- Launch VT Online Library.
- Do the word search on OED, double clicking
on initial results to expand them.
- Ex. 1) Find the number of senses for get.
- Ex. 2) Find the number of senses for search.
- Ex. 3) For the word alphabet draw a tree to
show structure of the entry, with root at the word,
branches for parts-of-speech, senses, usage examples,
etc.
- Algorithm animations: Run boyer and kmp
on several different pattern and test string combinations.
Be sure to run the same pair on both to facilitate comparison.
Be sure to run the abracadabra example from the
textbook. Use Run Animation and end with Quit
but you also may want to step through. Be sure to set up
the X display in advance.
- PAT exercises: There are only 2 copies of the Manual, so
either wait for one to be free, or access it online with
LectorMotif.
