Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning
11754
Overview
Investigate the fundamental concepts and ideas in natural language processing (NLP), and get up to speed with current research. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of both the algorithms available for processing linguistic information and the underlying computational properties of natural languages. The focus is on deep learning approaches: implementing, training, debugging, and extending neural network models for a variety of language understanding tasks. The course progresses from word-level and syntactic processing to question answering and machine translation. For their final project students will apply a complex neural network model to a large-scale NLP problem.
This course is now full. Please enroll in the wait list section. In the case that a spot becomes available, Student Services will contact you. Make sure you have submitted your NDO application and required documents to be considered.
