Program Overview
Our Natural Language Processing (NLP) program delves into the fascinating intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics. This program equips you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to build intelligent systems capable of understanding, interpreting, and generating human language. You will explore how machines can process text and speech data, extract meaning, and perform tasks such as translation, sentiment analysis, and chatbots.
Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art NLP techniques and tools, preparing you for a dynamic career in a field that's rapidly transforming how we interact with technology.
Key Areas of Study
- Text Preprocessing: Tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, stop-word removal.
- Feature Extraction: Bag-of-Words, TF-IDF, Word Embeddings (Word2Vec, GloVe, FastText).
- Language Modeling: N-grams, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), LSTMs, GRUs.
- Deep Learning for NLP: Transformers, BERT, GPT, attention mechanisms.
- Syntactic and Semantic Analysis: Parsing, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition.
- Information Retrieval & Extraction: Search engines, question answering systems.
- Speech Recognition & Synthesis: Converting spoken language to text and vice-versa.
