Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The goal of this course is the deeper understanding of Natural Language Processing which concern to: the NL linguistics data formalization the codification of the NL syntax, morphology and semantics structure rules the parsing and generation algorithms of NL sentences as well as the introduction of students to critical thinking and research process. During the course a detailed examination of the above topics is done. After completing the course the student can handle theoretical documentation of problems and solving exercises, which are related to: definition and design of syntactic structure or phrase structure grammars as well as algorithms and syntactic analysis technics. formalization of morphological rules, design data bases and expert systems as well as algorithms and morphological analysis technics. formalization of semantic rules, design data bases and expert systems as well as algorithms and semantic analysis technics.

General Competences

Independent work Bibliographic search Effective selection and Design of the required machine and language.
