✚ A comprehensive 40-hour instructional curriculum
✚ A 15-day professional course
✚ Analyzing Chinese characters for representation using traditional grammar and large-scale language models
✚ A must-attend summer camp for students who wish to explore computer science or aspire to major in it in the future
You will learn:
✚ What is meant by linguistic structure?
✚ What is a language model?
✚ How do chatbots work?
✚ How do chatbots differ from question-answering systems?
✚ What is a parser?
✚ How do we represent the meanings of sentences?
This course will provide a hands-on introduction to tools for Chinese natural language processing. Knowledge of basic computer programming in a language such as Python will be useful, as will some basic linear algebra. We will consider the analysis of Chinese text using traditional grammar and large-scale language models, and continue from there to discuss applications such as chatbots, question-answering, and privacy preservation.
Equip you with the basic terminology to begin to read and experiment with natural language processing tools that you find on the world-wide web.
A great start for students contemplating advanced study in computer science and artificial intelligence.
Many large employers such as Baidu and Microsoft have natural language processing research groups, that help them build products such as query systems, translation software, and chatbots.
