Natural Language Processing

In this course we will explore computational models for processing natural (human) language. We will introduce statistical and algorithmic techniques for processing language at the word, syntactic, and semantic levels in the context of a number of application areas including language translation, parsing, summarization, information extraction, and language modeling. Assignments will involve constructing and modifying systems and will incorporate a variety of large corpora. (CSCI 0200 and CSCI 0201) 3 hrs. lect./lab
