3 hours Explore current trends and new frontiers of Al in language sciences Learn Computational methods and techniques for language analysis Examine machine learning models within the context of linguistic theories and practices This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between AI and language sciences, with emphasis on how to address linguistic inquiries by way of computational methods and techniques. Students will delve into various computational methods and techniques for the analysis, modelling, and understanding of various aspects of human language. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and real-world applications (in the form of student-led projects), students will gain proficiency in leveraging AI to address fundamental questions in (applied) linguistics. Furthermore, this course will address ethical considerations and societal implications associated with the use of AI in language research, fostering a holistic understanding of the fields potential and limitations. Knowledge about core areas of linguistics and skills in digital technologies or computer programming are required for this course. In addition, students are expected to spend a good amount of time in (i) setting up their own device(s) suitable for Python programming (through Jupyter Notebook) and (ii) troubleshooting technical issues firstly and actively by consulting online platforms (e.g., Stack Overflow). Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
