- 2. What is computational linguistics? Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that combines computer science, linguistics, and artificial intelligence to study and develop algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to process, understand, and generate natural language data.
- 3. Key Areas: 1. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Develops algorithms and statistical models to enable computers to process, understand, and generate natural language data. 2. Speech Recognition: Develops systems that can recognize and transcribe spoken language. 3. Machine Translation: Develops systems that can translate text or speech from one language to another. 4. Text Summarization: Develops systems that can automatically summarize long documents or texts. 5. Sentiment Analysis: Develops systems that can analyze text to determine the sentiment or emotional tone.
- 4. Techniques: 1. Tokenization: Breaking down text into individual words or tokens. 2. Part-of-Speech Tagging: Identifying the grammatical category of each word. 3. Named Entity Recognition: Identifying named entities such as people, places, and organizations. 4. Dependency Parsing: Analyzing the grammatical structure of a sentence. 5. Machine Learning: Using machine learning algorithms to train models on large datasets.
- 5. Challenges: 1. Ambiguity: Words or phrases with multiple meanings. 2. Context: Understanding the context in which language is used. 3. Idioms and Colloquialisms: Handling non-literal language. 4. Language Variations: Handling different dialects, accents, and languages. 5. Evaluating Performance: Measuring the accuracy and effectiveness of computational linguistics systems.
- 6. Interdisciplinary Areas: 1. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI): Developing interfaces that enable humans to interact with computers using natural language. 2. Artificial Intelligence (AI): Developing intelligent systems that can understand, generate, and process natural language data. 3. Cognitive Science: Studying human language processing and cognition to develop more effective computational models. 4. Linguistics: Applying computational methods to analyze and understand linguistic structures and phenomena. 5. Computer Vision: Developing systems that can analyze and understand visual data, such as images and videos.
