Computer Science 453 - Research Seminar: Multilingual Natural Language Processing

This course is a research-based seminar on multilingual natural language processing (NLP), focused on synthesizing NLP research which elucidates how the complexity of the world’s languages impacts NLP technologies. We will focus primarily on low-resource and endangered language models, semantic representations, and the evaluation of multilingual text generation. Upon completing this class, students should be able to engage with new language technologies as they emerge. To do this, students will survey, analyze, and present state-of-the-art research articles within multilingual NLP.

Requisite: COSC 243. Spring semester. Professor Wein.
