Natural language processing

The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the fundamental concepts related to Natural Language Processing (NLP) as well as an overview of the main tools used in the field. Moreover, some NLP applications will be presented, e.g. information retrieval, machine translation and automatic misogyny identification.

After successfully completing the course, students will be able to:

-know the base concepts of the Natural Language Processing field.

-explain the common computational vector space models for words applied in language technology.

-describe the challenges related to word vector models.

-know how to address some Natural Language Processing applications.
