Outline and Purpose of the Course	This lecture focuses on morphological analysis, syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, and context analysis, including machine learning approaches, which are necessary to process natural language texts. We also explain their applications such as information retrieval and machine translation.
Course Goals	Students who got a credit of this class will acquire broad knowledge about language information processing and also understand basic algorithms for processing natural language texts.
Schedule and Contents	Overview of Natural Language Processing (1 week) Formal Language Theory (1 week) Language Model, Sequence Labeling (2 weeks) Parsing, Word Sense Disambiguation (2 weeks) Neural Networks for NLP (3 weeks) Information Retrieval and Question Answering (2 weeks) Machine Translation and Dialog System (2 weeks) Text Generation (1 week) Language Evolution (1 week)
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Grading is based on assignments/reports. Evaluation will be based on demonstration of understanding basic algorithms of language information processing and submission of sufficient reports for the assignments and the criteria will follow Article 7 of Graduate School of Informatics Academic Grading Regulations.
Course Requirements	None
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	Documents used in the course will be available on PandA or the lecturers' web pages. Students are expected to prepare and review classes using these materials.
