Abstract

Preprocessing of linguistic data in Python is designed to further the students’ knowledge of natural language processing and to polish their programming skills. The course aims to provide the students with the programming and natural language processing knowledge and competencies necessary to plan and conduct research projects of their own leading to the M.Sc. dissertation and scientific publications.

Learning Objectives

to further the students’ programming skills
to provide the students with the necessary skills to write programs for experiments and corpus studies
to teach the students how to re-format data
to teach the students how to retrieve data from the Internet
to teach the students how to write their code so that it is readable by other linguists
to teach the students how to present their research that involves coding in the written and in the oral form
to provide an overview of some of the most exciting current computational projects
to teach the students how to read and to assess critically linguistic research that uses computational methods
to teach the students how to formulate linguistic questions in a way that can be addressed computationally
to teach the students to conduct independent computational studies

Expected Learning Outcomes

is able to re-format data
writes programs (code) for experiments and corpus studies
writes their code so that it is readable by other linguists and programmers
retrieves data from the Internet
presents their research that involves coding in the written and in the oral form
reads and assesses critically linguistic research that uses computational methods
formulates linguistic questions in a way that can be addressed computationally
conducts independent natural language processing studies
