KurzbeschreibungThis course presents topics in natural language processing with an emphasis on modern techniques, primarily focusing on statistical and deep learning approaches. The course provides an overview of the primary areas of research in language processing as well as a detailed exploration of the models and techniques used both in research and in commercial natural language systems.
LernzielThe objective of the course is to learn the basic concepts in the statistical processing of natural languages. The course will be project-oriented so that the students can also gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools and techniques.
InhaltThis course presents an introduction to general topics and techniques used in natural language processing today, primarily focusing on statistical approaches. The course provides an overview of the primary areas of research in language processing as well as a detailed exploration of the models and techniques used both in research and in commercial natural language systems.
LiteraturLectures will make use of textbooks such as the one by Jurafsky and Martin where appropriate, but will also make use of original research and survey papers.

Kurzbeschreibung
Lernziel- Familiarize students with the ethical implications of applying Big Data and ML tools to socially-sensitive domains; teach them to think critically about these issues.
- Overview the long-established philosophical, sociological, and economic literature on these subjects.
- Provide students with a tool-box of technical solutions for addressing - at least partially - the ethical and societal issues of ML and Big data.
InhaltAs ML continues to advance and make its way into different aspects of modern life, both the designers and users of the technology need to think seriously about its impact on individuals and society. We will study some of the ethical implications of applying ML tools to socially sensitive domains, such as employment, education, credit ledning, and criminal justice. We will discuss at length what it means for an algorithm to be fair; who should be held responsible when algorithmic decisions negatively impacts certain demographic groups or individuals; and last but not least, how algorithmic decisions can be explained to a non-technical audience. Throughout the course, we will focus on technical solutions that have been recently proposed by the ML community to tackle the above issues. We will critically discuss the advantages and shortcomings of these proposals in comparison with non-technical alternatives.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesStudents are expected to sufficient knowledge of ML (i.e. they must have taken the "Introduction to Machine Learning" or an equivalent course).
