Applied Language Technology: A No-Nonsense Approach - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

Dr. Tuomo Hiippala, Assistant Professor in English Language and Digital Humanities in the Department of Languages at the University of Helsinki, has shared his videos and other learning materials for a pair of courses that he teaches, all in a single website for those looking to learn Applied Language Technology. While it appears that some of the material is not available to users beyond the University, specifically at least one hosted instance of the course code notebooks, besides the course website, the videos are all available in a single playlist as well. Together, these two courses provide an introduction to applied language technology for audiences who are unfamiliar with language technology and programming. The learning materials assume no previous knowledge of the Python programming language. Instead of treating text simply as data and a source of some information to be extracted, these learning materials emphasise text as the product of linguistic processes, which are inextricably related to language use in society.
