This course is a gentle introduction to the field of Natural Language Processing for students with primarily humanities backgrounds (FIMS 9732/“How Computers Talk to Us: Conversational AI Design and Uses.”) The course is open to all FIMS graduate students that work in information professions. No prior background in languages or programming expected. Some more details for now are here: https://victoriarubin.fims.uwo.ca/teaching/natural-language-processing/. More information will be available by late July/early August. (Last update: 05/27/2024)
