Title Seminar: Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Description This seminar provides a conceptual and practical introduction into modern Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods and technologies. Each lecture introduces a new NLP approach based on a seminal publication and including a presentation of an academic guest speaker. The NLP methods include Bag-of-words (BoW), term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), word2vec, long short-term memory (LSTM), latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), transformers, BERT, and GPT-3.
Before each lecture, the students have to read the indicated research article and ask a key question for the discussion. In addition, each student has to conduct and eventually present a personal project related to NLP. This seminar is mandatory for all students conducting a bachelor or master thesis at the Research Center for Digital Sustainability.
