Professor Roberts said, “It was good presenting ColloCaid at this event. We gave a talk titled ‘Developing ColloCaid – lessons learnt in developing a text-editing tool, and visualising words, to help writers with collocations’. Our presentation was divided into four parts. We first gave background information about the project and the data, second presented how we had designed and developed ColloCaid, third discussed some lessons learnt, and finally we gave a demonstration of the latest version”.

Peter Butcher said “It was good presenting at this symposium and meeting other researchers in the area of language technologies”.

On September 30th, at the pre-conference workshop on Collocations in Lexicography, we presented a paper about lessons from Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research for the presentation of collocations in e-lexicography. We drew heavily on examples from the development of ColloCaid to show how concepts and techniques from HCI could be usefully applied to the presentation of collocations in electronic resources.

On Tuesday 1st October we presented the paper: Slipping through the cracks of e-lexicography: lessons from ColloCaid which summarised the great benefits e-lexicographic techniques brought in the development of ColloCaid and as well as the potential pitfalls of their uncritical use (video).

On Wednesday 2nd we gave hands of demo of prototype version 0.4 of ColloCaid.
