Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Participants will be provided a brief overview of classical approaches and branches of linguistics as well as a sound insight into various methods and tasks in the field of computational linguistics. Terminological subtleties, such as the difference between Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics, will be addressed. Current research approaches as well as possible further research topics will be discussed.

Contents:
- Introduction to the concepts and directions of traditional linguistics
- Classical tasks of computational linguistics
- Presentation of different methods for language processing from tokenization to sentiment analysis
- Different NLP systems and computational linguistic analysis models
- Discussion of the current state of research as well as further research ideas
- Practical introduction to basic methods of automatic language processing

Methods:
- Theoretical introduction to linguistics and computational linguistics
- Short presentations by students on selected current research work in the field (so-called lightning talks in each class)
- Development and implementation of practical solutions to current problems in computational linguistics (e.g., in the form of shared tasks from recent years)

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Written exam, programming assignments, a final programming project, and student short presentations.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Minimum requirement: positive performance on the written exam and the final programming project.

61-70% 4,
71-80% 3,
81-90% 2,
91-100% 1

Prüfungsstoff

The written exam focuses on the basic theoretical concepts of linguistics and computational linguistics. The short presentations already bridge the theoretical and practical contents, since newly published research papers will be presented. The practical programming assignments and the final programming project require knowledge of Python and the practical implementation of the theoretical content of the course.

Literatur

Will be announced in the first class of the lecture and on Moodle.
