NLP

This document provides information about the Natural Language Processing course offered at SRI VENKATESWARA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY. The course aims to teach students how to tag text with language features, design NLP applications, implement rule-based systems for morphology and syntax, design tag sets for statistical processing, and compare statistical approaches for NLP applications. The course covers topics like language modeling, word-level analysis, syntactic analysis, semantics and pragmatics, and discourse analysis. It lists two textbooks and four references for the course.
