Natural language research announcements

[Julia Hockenmaier <juliahmr AT uiuc.edu>]

Dear all,

Next semester, I will be teaching an Introduction to NLP course for 
graduate students and advanced undergraduates. The target audience is 
mainly CS students, but students in linguistics and GSLIS are welcome as 
well. The main prerequisites are that you have some programming 
experience, and that you know what a finite-state automaton and a 
context-free grammar are.
The (rather brief) announcement is below.
The website at

http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/class/fa08/cs498jh

contains more information, but feel free to email me if you have any 
further questions!

I hope to see you (or your students) there!

This course will provide an introduction to computational linguistics, 
from morphology (word formation) and syntax (sentence structure) to 
semantics (meaning), and natural language processing applications such 
as parsing, machine translation, generation and dialog systems.

Prerequisites: Formal language and automata theory (CS273 or 
equivalent). Programming experience is necessary for the assignments. 
Prior exposure to linguistics is not required.

Textbook: Jurafsky and Martin (2008), Speech and Language Processing, 
2nd edition (not the 1st edition from 2000)

Audience: Advanced undergraduates and graduates
