- Course objectives
- This course aims at providing the students with state-of-the-art in (mainly statistical) methods, algorithms and tools used for processing of large text corpora when they are created or subject to subsequent information retrieval.
These tools are practically used in many areas of natural language processing (semiautomatic building of text corpora, morphological analysis and desambiguation, syntactic analysis, effective indexation and search in text corpora, statistical machine translation, semantic analysis etc.). - Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students will be able to: use tools containing language models; understand the related theories and algorithms; include probabilistic models in the design of text processing applications; implement selected techniques in own applications.
