Overview
Course Objectives
The aim of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) course offered by Örebro University is to obtain expertise in applying neural networks and deep learning methods to solve problems in NLP.
Knowledge and understanding
- Completing this course gives the student the basic knowledge of Natural Language Processing (NLP), different methods, and learn how different natural language problems can be viewed, and solved.
Applied Knowledge and Skills
- The student will learn how to solve different NLP problems, by deploying statistical and machine learning methods. The focus of this course is on deploying deep learning for various NLP problems.
Making judgments and attitudes
- After completing this course, the student will be able to assess how deep learning methods of NLP is suitable for NLP problems. Analyzing problems, finding the correct methodology, and deploying techniques in different applications.
