LING 506

Fall 2024 All Classes

All Classes

Credit: 4 hours.

Provides an introduction to practical problems in computational linguistics in a laboratory setting. At the beginning of the semester, a substantial project will be assigned to the class, and the class will work as a team towards implementing a solution, and evaluating the final product against a test corpus, which will also be developed during the class. Topical readings will also be assigned and will be discussed.

Approved for letter or S/U grading. May be repeated in more than one section per term to a maximum of 8 hours, if topics vary; may be repeated in subsequent terms to a maximum of 12 hours, if topics vary. Prerequisite: LING 406, and an introductory level Computer Science programming course, or consent of instructor.

Meets with LING 490 Topic: Computational Sociolinguistics” This course introduces both computational models of social phenomena in language and the critical evaluation of computational models of language from a sociolinguistic perspective. The intended audience is either (i) students in computational linguistics who necessarily work with social phenomena and (ii) students in sociolinguistics who are interested in critically evaluating language models and their applications. Topics include linguistic variation and dialectology, language attitudes and perceptual dialectology, code-switching, low-resource languages and dialects, and sources of social bias in computational models.
