The main goal of this course is to provide an overview of individual subfields of computational linguistics. Main issues being solved by these subfields are also mentioned. Among the subfields the course stresses are machine translation, syntactic parsing, morphology and corpus linguistics.

The course finishes with a written exam. It contains 8-10 questions which concern the topics covered in lectures. One of the questions requires a detailed description of one of the algorithms described in the course of the semester. Last update: Kuboň Vladislav, doc. RNDr., Ph.D. (15.10.2017)
