136040 VU Practical Machine Learning for Natural Language Processing (2023S)

In this lecture, basic machine learning algorithms are implemented in Python and applied to natural language processing problems. The focus is on vector representations of texts, and the methods range from text classification using the perceptron algorithm to word vectors and simple neural networks. Basic knowledge of Python or the willingness to acquire it quickly is assumed (the basic control and data structures, such as class definitions or dictionaries). The language of the lecture is German or English (depending on the lecturer).
