These are complemented by the application oriented courses NLP and the web and Educational NLP addressing two large application domains: the web and applications within the educational context.
Algorithms of Language Technology builds the bridge to the theoretical field. Efficient Graph Algorithms addresses theory and practice of graph algorithms and their applications within the NLP and KE domain. Lexical-Semantic Methods for Language Understanding puts a special focus on the resoures used to provide knowledge for the algorithms.
Seminars and practical courses
The teaching range is complemented by seminars and practical courses addressing varying topics: the regular seminar Text Analytics introduces some of the central themes and techniques that have emerged among the field of NLP such as statistical methods, unsupervised techniques, or graph-based approaches. The software project Unstructured Information Management conveys skills required to perform a larger research project: Students acquire knowledge and experience in developing a system for managing unstructured information, in particular text.
