Course Contents:
The lecture provides an introduction to the foundational concepts of deep learning and their application to problems in the area of natural language processing (NLP)
Main content:
- foundations of deep learning (e.g. feed-forward networks, hidden layers, backpropagation, activation functions, loss functions)
- word embeddings: theory, different approaches and models, application as features for machine learning
- different architectures of neuronal networks (e.g. recurrent NN, recursive NN, convolutional NN, encoder-decoder models) and their application for groups of NLP problems such as document classification (e.g. spam detection), sequence labeling (e.g. POS-tagging, Named Entity Recognition) and more complex structure prediction (e.g. Chunking, Parsing, Semantic Role Labeling)
