Aim:
Language technology is technology for the analysis and interpretation of natural language, a key component of smart search engines, personal digital assistants, and many other innovative applications. The goal of this course is to give an introduction to language technology as an application area, as well as to its basic methods. The course focuses on methods that process text.
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- explain basic methods for the analysis and interpretation of words, sentences, and texts
- practically apply language technology methods and systems to texts and text collections
- evaluate language technology components and systems using standard validation methods
- judge the difficulty and the feasibility of language technology applications
