This course provides an introduction to the basic theory and practice of computational approaches to natural language processing.

Topics include:

• introduction to programming in Python;
• tokenization;
• part-of-speech tagging;
• context-free grammars for natural language;
• parsing techniques.

The course will be oriented towards hands-on experience of text processing techniques, using the NLTK-Lite library. NLTK is based on Python, and a brief introduction to Python will be provided at the start of the class, together with practical sessions.
