 == Software ==
+In this course we will use Python, together with the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK). It is assumed that you are either familiar with Python already, or, due to your excellent preparation in the Vassar Computer Science program, you have the ability to learn it quickly.
 You can use the computers in the Asprey Lab in the Computer Science Department, which have all of the required software already installed. If you want to use your own computer, you should install the following:
   * The Natural Language Toolkit--NLTK (available [[http://nltk.org/install | here ]]) and the NLTK data (available [[http://nltk.org/data | here ]]). If not already installed on your computer, you will also need to install [[http://www.python.org/download/ | Python]].
-  * Weka for machine learning, available [[ http://sourceforge.net/projects/weka/ | here ]].
-  * (optional) the General Architecture for Text Engineering (GATE), available [[http://gate.ac.uk|here]].
