Introduction to the main approaches, tools, and methods related to computational modeling and learning of morphology and morphophonology.
This course will examine these major questions:
The course has both a practical and a theoretical component. On the practical side, we want to explore current methods to model morphology computationally and what kinds of applications can be derived from such models. Many natural language processing systems rely on a morphophonological component at some stage, reflecting the importance of adequate and accurate treatment of this part. The goal is to achieve fluency in translating linguistic generalizations into a working computational model.
