Linguistics 384
Language and Computers
Autumn 2005
Announcements
- The final is on Wednesday, December 7, 2005, 11:30AM-1:18AM.
Overview
- Course goals: In the past decade, the widening use of computers
has had a profound influence on the way ordinary people communicate,
search, and store information. For the overwhelming majority of people and
situations, the natural vehicle for such information is natural language.
Text and to a lesser extent speech are crucial encoding formats for the
information revolution.
In this course, you will be given insight into the fundamentals of how
computers are used to represent, process, and organize textual and spoken
information, as well as tips on how to effectively integrate this
knowledge into working practice. We will cover the theory and practice of
human language technology. Topics include text encoding, search
technology, tools for writing support, machine translation, dialog
systems, computer aided language learning, and the social context of
language technology.
This course fulfills GEC requirement 2B: Mathematical & Logical Analysis.
