Machine Learning for Linguists

Catalog description

This course covers widely-used machine learning methods for linguistic applications with a special focus on neural networks and culminates in a final project in AI or computational linguistics. If you take this class, you’ll be exposed to the most relevant approaches that researchers have recently used to teach language to computers. However, you’ll get training and practice with all the research skills that you’ll need to explore the field further on your own. This includes not only the skills to apply computational models, but also to design experiments to test those models, to write and present your results, and to read and evaluate results from the scientific literature. Prerequisites: ENG 683 .
