  3. Announcements • HW5 • Part 1 – work on this week • Part 2 – work on next week • due April 16 • 4/5-4/9: Artificial Intelligence • 4/12-4/16: Theory • 4/19-4/23: Exam week

  4. Today’s Agenda • Artificial Intelligence • Computational linguistics • Knowledge representation and reasoning • Game playing

  5. What is Computational Linguistics? • The study of techniques for processing natural human language by computer. • “computational techniques that process spoken and written language, as language” [Jurafsky & Martin,Speech and Language Processing, pg. 2]

  6. Some applications – extant and envisioned • spelling checkers • grammar checkers • natural language interfaces • information extraction • text summarization • conversational agents • machine translation

  7. General problem areas • information retrieval (finding sources) • information extraction (extracting from sources) • speech recognition • natural language understanding • inference (drawing conclusions) • natural language generation • speech synthesis

  8. If only…

  9. Levels of processing • phonetics/phonology – sounds • morphology – word structure • syntax – sentence structure • semantics – meaning • pragmatics – goals of language use • discourse – utterances in context
