COSC 72 Accelerated Computational Linguistics

The study of human language from a computational perspective. This accelerated course has programming background equivalent to that provided by COSC 1 as a prerequisite. This course will survey formal models for representing linguistic objects, and statistical approaches to learning from natural language data. We will pay attention to the use of computational techniques to understand the structure of language, as well as practical engineering applications like speech recognition and machine translation. Students will implement simple algorithms for several key tasks in language processing and learning.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
