This track focuses on the role of linguistics in Human Language Technology. Using Python as a programming language, students explore basic techniques for extracting and analyzing structure and meaning from a diverse set of languages. With a course in Programming as a prerequisite, the program culminates in upper division courses in Computational Linguistics and modern machine learning techniques for Natural Language Processing. 麻豆淫院 in the CompLing track will be introduced to the syntactic theories that inform annotation of syntactic parses in Treebanks, computational lexical resources such as FrameNet, Proposition Bank and VerbNet, and the importance of discourse analysis in human-robot interaction.聽
