-===== Description  =====
+Course Description:
-The course lays the conceptual foundation of object-oriented programming. It covers delegation and contracts, encapsulation and API programming, aggregation and the collections framework, inheritance and polymorphism, all from the client's perspective.
+Computational Linguistics is the study of human language behaviour and language learning from a computational perspective. This course will explore computational techniques for understanding, translating and producing natural language, and investigate the structure and meaning of sentences and connected discourse. After providing the necessary linguistic background, symbolic (unification-based approaches) and probabilistic (statistical language processing) techniques will be considered. If time permits, Some applications will be discussed, such as the problems of question answering, machine translation, text classification, information extraction, and grammar induction.
