This unit applies machine learning techniques to obtain leading results on solving the problems of natural language processing (NLP). NLP is considered as a critical step to create effective communications and interactions between machines and human beings. Through these applications in NLP the students will learn about the basic concepts of NLP, methodologies to represent human natural language in machines, and the application of cutting-edge techniques to train machines to achieve human-like abilities to understand natural language. The students will learn how to use machines to comprehend text, speech, and visual information, that are used in most AI systems.
