CSCI159 HM - Natural Language Processing

Credit(s): 3

Medero. An introduction to the fundamental concepts and ideas in natural language processing, sometimes called computational linguistics. The goals of the field range from text translation and understanding to enabling humans to converse with robots. We will study language processing starting from the word level to syntactic structure to the semantic meaning of text. Approaches include statistical as well as symbolic methods using logic and the lambda calculus. Students will build and modify systems and will use large existing corpora for validating their systems. (Spring, alternate years)

Prerequisite(s): CSCI070 HM , MATH060 HM , and MATH065 HM
