| Teilnahme- voraus- setzungen |
Recommended are: solid knowledge of basic calculus, statistics, and linear algebra; good Python programming skills | |
| Vergabe der LP und Modulendnote | Assignment (40%) and Programming Project (60%); about 4-6 assignments focusing on the material learned in class on a conceptual and formal level; group project in which 3-4 students develop a prototypical text analytics framework using an open source search engine, including design and evaluation, a written report; project documentation as well as the code need to be submitted at the end of classes (Gitlab), clearly indicating what contributions were made by each group member. Both assignments and project must be at least satisfactory (4,0) in order to pass the class. | |
| Nützliche Literatur | The following textbook and texts are useful but not required. - Dan Jurafsky and James H. Martin. Speech and Language Processing (3rd ed. draft) Furthermore, during the course of this lecture, several papers covering topics discussed in class will be provided. |
