Overview
Natural language generation systems convert information from the computer database into readable or audible human language and vice versa.
Such systems also enable sophisticated tasks such as inter-language translation, semantic understanding, text summarization and holding a dialog.
The Natural Language Processing programme is offered at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence .
The key applications of NLP algorithms include interactive voice response applications, automated translators, digital personal assistants (e.g., Siri, Cortana, Alexa), chatbots, and smart word processors.
Upon completion of the program requirements, the graduate will be able to:
- Develop a deep and comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge NLP algorithms with applications to real-life scenarios
- Implement, evaluate and benchmark existing state-of-the-art in NLP scholarly publications and weigh in their respective pros and cons.
- Grow capabilities to identify open research problems, the gaps in the existing body of knowledge, and formulate new research questions
- Independently develop innovative solutions, through extensive research and scholarship, to resolve research problems in high-impact real-life applications of NLP.
- Demonstrate expert knowledge and highly specialized cognitive and creative skills in NLP to deliver state of the art solutions to existing open research problems.
- Pursue an NLP project either independently, or as part of a team in a collegial manner, with minimal supervision.
- Initiate, manage, and complete research manuscripts that demonstrate expert self-evaluation and advanced skills in scientifically communicating highly complex ideas.
- Develop highly sophisticated skills in initiating, managing, and completing multiple project reports and critiques, on a variety of NLP problems, that demonstrate an expert understanding and advanced skills in communicating highly complex ideas.
