Course objectives
The course suits linguistics and computational linguistics students with basic or zero knowledge of machine learning who want to gain practical skills useful for machine learning projects. Students will acquire knowledge of the fundamental aspects of computational natural language processing, emphasising creating training/test sets for machine learning applications in linguistic research.
Learning outcomes
In the course, students will gain practical experience with data collection using the corpus manager Sketch Engine, creating training/test data sets, and modifying and manipulating data using Python and selected libraries (Pandas, Re, NLTK, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib etc.) for data cleaning and visualization.
Syllabus
  • 1. Introduction: Assignment overview, introduction to machine learning methods.
  • 2. Data set types: data sets according to learning tasks, research objectives in linguistics, and data set creation.
  • 3. Data preprocessing: data cleaning, duplicate removal, tokenization, lemmatization, morphological analysis, and syntactic analysis (UD Pipe, Majka, Desamb tools).
  • 4. Data annotation: Annotation scheme, inter-annotator agreement measurement.
  • 5. Linguistic data analysis: Data set statistics and visualization in graphs.
  • 6. Machine learning: Supervised and unsupervised learning, training a language model for the classification task, model evaluation, and cross-validation.
