Computational Linguistics Course

Andrew McCallum is teaching his Computational Linguistics course this fall, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:30-3:45, in CMPSCI 140.

Here's Andrew's blurb about the course:

This Fall I will be teaching undergraduate Natural Language Processing again. This course is designed to introduce both Computer Science and Linguistics students to the exciting and intertwined topics of (1) using computational and statistical methods to give insight into observed human language phenomena, and (2) making computers perform various useful tasks with human languages, web pages, email, etc.

It typically attracts a fun, interdisciplinary group of engaged undergraduates.

The prerequisites are light: students should merely have some facility with programming, and familiarity with basic math (exponents, logs, elementary probability).

Even if you aren't sure you'd like to take the course, you are welcome to simply show up at the first lecture, September 4, Tuesday, 2:30pm in UMass Computer Science Building Room 140.
