Description
Prerequisites: Senior classification
This course focuses on basic computational techniques (both symbolic and statistical) for processing different aspects of natural (human) language: words and morphological processing, syntax and parsing, semantics of words, and complex structures. It also covers selected areas of application of natural language processing such as information extraction, question answering and summarization, machine translation, and dialogue/discourse. There are no prerequisites for the course other than good programming skills. CSC3309 AI and CSC3315 are helpful.
