- Prerequisites
- The basics of machine learning (e.g. IB031), computational linguistics (e.g. PA153) and neural networks (e.g. PV021), is assumed. The course is given in English (or in Czech depending on the audience). Task solutions can be in English, Czech or Slovak (exceptionally in another language).
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 29 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- Students will obtain knowledge about methods and tools for text mining and natural language learning. At the end of the course students should be able to create systems for text analysis by machine learning methods. Students are able to understand, explain and exploit contents of scientific papers from this area.
- Learning outcomes
- A student will be able
- to pre-process text data for text mining;
- to build a system for analysis of text by means of machine learning;
- to understand research papers from this area;
- to write a technical report. - Syllabus
