This course is run in German as well: Computerlinguistik mit Python

Natural Language processing (NLP) is a scientific field where computer science and linguistics meet, it's overlapping with computational linguistics. NLP is concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages.

"Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves. Today dozens of Google engineers use Python, and we're looking for more people with skills in this language." said Peter Norvig, director of search quality at Google, Inc.

All our courses are made-to-measure your expectations and are conveniently scheduled and delivered at various locations: Lake Constance or Berlin in Germany, Toronto in Canada. London in England.

This course has been held as an online training course since March 2020. Further Information!

This course shows the enormous NLP possibilities of Python. It's both an introduction into the programming language Python and a practical introduction into NLP with real programs. The seminar starts with examples as simple as counting word frequencies, continues with text classification (document classification) and ends with analyzing the semantic meaning of sentences in natural languages like English or German. You will learn to manipulate large corpora, explore linguistic models, and test empirical claims. At the end of the course you will have learnt how to build robust systems to perform linguistic tasks by using Python and the open source library NLTK, Natural Language Toolkit.

Target Group:
This seminar is intended for people who want to learn how to write programs to analyse written natural language. Prior programming experience is not necessary but recommended.

Content:
By "natural language" we mean languages like English, French or German and not artificial languages like programming languages. Technologies based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) are becoming increasingly widespread, and the demand for specialists is continually growing.
