Final exercise (3b) is published

We have just posted the second (and final) part of our third obligatory exercise, which is due in two weeks from today (November 17). 

The first and ¡®middle¡¯ parts of this problem set build on the theory that was introduced in the most recent lectures.

This exercise also offers an optional third part, which calls for combination of our chart parser implementation with the HMM tagger and implementation of additional optimizations; submissions to this optional part will be rewarded with up to ten bonus points¡ªso it should really be possible for everyone who starts work on this assignment about now to qualify for the exam, if you just work hard enough on it.  Besides offering bonus points, working on the optional final part will also be fun and great programming practice
