Course Description:
The course provides an introduction to the field of natural language processing (NLP). The topics include creating systems that can understand and produce language, for applications such as information extraction, machine translation, automatic summarization, question-answering, and interactive dialogue systems. The course covers linguistic (knowledge-based) and statistical approaches to language processing in the areas of syntax (language structures), semantics (language meaning), and pragmatics/discourse (the interpretation of language in context). Students will design and develop programs for analyzing and extracting information from large online corpora.
