Mathematics for Computational Linguistics

This is a small collection of basic mathematics for your off-the-shelf Computer Linguist.

Development and Contributing

This website is generated using Ruby Jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com/

So that means you will have to install Ruby and Bundler on your system.

Installation of dependencies:

bundle install --path=.bundle

Running the local Jekyll server:

bundle exec jekyll serve

The site can then be reached at: http://localhost:4000/clmaths/

To run the tests in the Rakefile:

bundle exec rake test

For the mathematical notation we use MathJax. Formulas can be written in TeX, see the MathJax documentation for details.

To include Code examples we (for far) use JavaScript and R playgrounds (fiddle), so that the code can directly be included into the courses.
