SLP148: Language and Computation
This unit explores the interface between language and computing, for students in either of the two disciplines. It provides an introduction to issues that arise in the computational processing of human language, using basic concepts in linguistics and computing, and addressing the surface of language as well as its underlying structures. It provides an introduction to further study in natural-language processing and computational linguistics. The unit is co-taught by staff from Linguistics and Computing through a series of interactive lectures and tutorials. Assessment is by means of in-class exercises and two written assignments.
