Cilji in kompetence:

Objectives and competences:

Cilj predmeta je posredovati splošno znanje o jezikovnih tehnologijah, to je metodah in aplikacijah obdelave naravnega jezika na računalniku. Predstavljena je zgodovina in osnovni pojmi jezikoslovja, raznovrstne aplikacije jezikoslovnih tehnologij in računalniške metode, ki se pri njih uporabljajo. Podrobno so obdelani jezikovni korpusi, velike zbirke označenih besedil, ki so osnovna infrastruktura, potrebna za raziskave in obdelavo posameznih jezikov. Obravnavana je tudi analiza jezikovnih korpusov z metodami strojnega učenja. Poudarek predmeta je na obravnavi slovenskega jezika in čezjzikovnih metodah.

Slušatelji pridobijo osnovno teoretično razumevanje in nekaj praktičnih izkušenj s področij jezikovnih tehnologij in korpusnega jezikoslovja, kar je predpogoj za učinkovito delo na računalniški obdelavi jezikovnih podatkov.

The goal of this course is to introduce language technologies, i.e. methods and applications of computer processing of natural language. The course gives the history and basic concepts of linguistics, various applications of language technologies and the computational methods which they use. Particular attention is given to language corpora, large datasets of annotated texts, which serve as the basic infrastructure necessary for research and processing of individual languages. Also discussed is the analysis of language corpora with machine learning methods. The focus of the course is on the processing of Slovene language and cross-lingual methods.

Students will gain basic theoretical understanding and some practical knowledge of language technologies and corpus linguistics, which is a prerequisite for effective work on computer processing of language data.
