Advanced Natural Language Processing

Due to the vast amount of available language data, the Web both enables and benefits from machine learning and natural language processing techniques. This course will cover 1) seminal and state-of-the-art approaches to language understanding that are robust and/or scalable, 2) machine learning and data analysis technologies that are well-suited to web data including online training, ranking, active learning and outlier detection, 3) core web technologies and Application Program Interfaces (APIs), and 4) ensemble methods for merging evidence from disparate sources. This course satisfies the "Corpus Analysis" or Advanced Natural Language Processing" requirement of the CUNY Graduate Center Computational Linguistics MA/PhD Certificate Program.
