Audience
The course is intended primarily for Masters’ students in Applied Data Science, Information Management, Computer Science, and Computational Linguistics, though it can be of interest and value to students in other programs.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate the levels of linguistic analysis, the computational techniques used to understand text at each level and what the challenges are for those techniques.
- Process text through the language levels using the resources of the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) and some rudimentary use of the programming language Python.
- Describe how NLP is used in many types of real world applications.
