The aim of the course is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts and ideas in computational linguistics, including computational approaches to language modeling, methods and techniques for the processing of human (natural) language, as well as recent applications in the area. The focus is on methods and algorithms for morphological analysis, part-of-speech tagging and parsing.
What is Computational Linguistics, by Hans Uszkoreit
Computational Morphology: finite-state transducers (FST), morphological parsing.
Tokenization and Spelling.
Part-of-Speech Tagging: rule-based, stochastic and transformation-based.
Parsing: top-down, bottom-up, bottom-up filtering, chart parsing.
Finite-State Parsing
Methods.
Parsing with Unification Constraints.
