COMS W4705 is a graduate introduction to natural language processing, the study of human language from a computational perspective. We will cover syntactic, semantic and discourse processing models. The emphasis will be on machine learning or corpus-based methods and algorithms. We will describe the use of these methods and models in applications including syntactic parsing, information extraction, statistical machine translation, dialogue systems, and summarization.
