AI 6110 - Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to understand text and spoken words in much the same way human beings can. Students will learn how to analyze and apply fundamental NLP algorithms and techniques. The course will teach the fundamentals of modern data-driven natural language processing, including applications, text representations, and various approaches for natural language understanding and generation. Students will also address how ethical issues intersect with NLP considerations (e.g., societal bias in text representations, fake news generation). Credits: 4
