5th Session- Natural Language Processing

This session we deal with the following questions: I. What can text tell us about society? II. How do humans compute language? III. How can we have natural dialogues with machines?

 

1- Lecture: Watch the following lectures and answer the interactive questions (which are graded). We recommend to use the following slide print-outs to take notes.

2- Lab:

In this lab, we will do Natural Language Processing (NLP) on famous speeches, with the goal to learn something about them and their speakers. We will work with a solution provided by IBM Watson. Please learn a bit more about it here:
