Course content
In recent years, the application of natural language processing technologies is spreading into various fields. This course will explain the basics of the natural language processing system, and methods of realizing these systems and application cases will be studied through lectures, experiments and by having students read literature in turns.
Purpose of class
Students can learn basic theories and techniques of processing natural language.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand basic theories and technologies for natural language processing systems
  2. To study application cases of natural language processing and understand their characteristics
  3. To explain and discuss about natural language processing technology
