General Information

Course description
Machine translation, information extraction, question answering and non-sense natural language generation performed by NLP algorithms are already part of everyday life. However, the new semantic understanding capabilities seen in recent trained models not only expand the NLP application space enormously, but also represent possible first steps towards consciousness and mind outside human and animal nerve systems.
