Introduction to Computational Linguistics

This course focuses on computational methods in linguistics. It is geared toward students with a background in linguistics but minimal background in computer science. This course offers students a foundational understanding of two domains of computational linguistics: cognitive modeling and natural language processing. Students will be introduced to the tools used by computational linguists in both these domains and to the fundamentals of computer programming in a way that highlights what is important for working with linguistic data.
