| Objectives | The course of human language technologies to master students, deepening the knowledge taught in the course of Artificial Intelligence in the third year, in the direction of natural language processing and computational linguistics. Among the knowledge that circumscriu this vast area at the intersection between linguistics and computer science, to discuss ongoing problems is the understanding of semantic content of expression in natural language and speech analysis, the ultimate goal being the construction of models for automatic interpretation of texts. |
| General thematics | Classical theories of discourse (alert states theory, theory of rhetorical structure theory centers), problems of cohesion text (anaphoric and its resolution), stringers theory, incremental parsing text, summarizing text, ontologies language applications. |
| Seminary / Laboratory thematics | Closely follows the concepts taught in class. Theme laboratories are posted at http://profs.info.uaic.ro/ ~ ipistol/tlu0708 |
