Inhalt: "As We May Think" is an essay written by Vannevar Bush in 1945, which has anticipated many technologies that we are using nowadays: personal computers, the internet, speech recognition, and online encyclopedias such as Wikipedia. But if Bush had focused his essay on language, could he have foreseen the digital tools we now use to process and generate language? Language, as something we consider what makes humans unique, has long posed exciting challenges for scientists and engineers since the dawn of information technology. How does a computer ‘understand’ and generate human language? What was the first chatbot and how was it built? Where lies the subtle line between the meaningful and the meaningless for both human and machine readers? This seminar explores these questions by combining theoretical discussions with practical coding exercises. Each week a practical technical topic will be introduced by the lecturer with code examples and exercises. Students will get the chance to generate computational poems, create their own chatbots, and delve into the creative and technical dimensions of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Python will serve as the primary programming languages for the course.
