This event provides an introduction to basic concepts and techniques from the subareas of word, sentence and text , sentence and text analysis, e.g. word normalization, semantic word networks, tagging, chunking, parsing, text classification. The course is designed as a practical introduction and consists of Lectures and programming exercises. No linguistic or linguistic or computational linguistic knowledge is assumed; however, general programming knowledge but general programming knowledge must already be available. This is not a programming course! Therefore, the course is intended for advanced bachelor students of of computer science.
Objectives
