Learning objectives

The primary objective of the laboratory is to convey knowledge and foster skills in the field of computer-based language processing. Students will acquire a deep understanding of key concepts and current best practices in natural language processing. Moreover, the laboratory aims to develop essential practical skills, such as the ability to apply acquired knowledge to solve specific problems within the context of language and text analysis. The ultimate goal is to prepare students to competently and consciously utilize language processing technologies in their academic and professional careers.
