GATE Training

1. Training

We now run a regular annual 5-day training event. The programme includes lectures, hands-on practical exercises, question and answer sessions, and social events, plus plenty of time for discussions with the GATE team.

The GATE training course recently won the 2021 Teaching with CLARIN Award.

Please contact us at gate-fig@sheffield.ac.uk for any enquiries relating to training.

Our next course is planned for early 2024, please watch this space for more information when it becomes available. Meanwhile you can visit the information from the previous training course from Feb 2021 here. It is likely that the 2024 course will be similar in form and content, with some updated modules.

5. Testimonials

• I have a fair amount of experience in NLP, but there were gaps in my knowledge, and I wanted to switch to GATE from the current tools I was using. A custom GATE training course designed around my specific needs, using my own data sets, turned out to be the perfect solution. My instructor did a top-notch job, with excellent in-advance preparation. I am a very satisfied student! -- Larry Rafsky (January 2021)
