1 Statistical Natural Language Processing: an introduction +contents of the 2016 course 1
2 Modeling language Language is complex, adaptive system Storing and processing text and speech Large datasets We want to make systems that ' understand' Take into account language related phenomena Building models about natural language using large data sets 2
3 Statistical Natural Language Processing Methodological basis: machine learning, pattern recognition, probability theory, statistics and signal processing Related fields: computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, phonetics, speech processing, discourse analysis, cognitive science, artificial intelligence 3
4 What's in a language? Phonetics and phonology: the physical sounds the patterns of sounds Morphology: The different building blocks of words Syntax: The grammatical structure Semantics: The meaning of words Pragmatics, discourse, spoken interaction... 4
5 Application areas Information retrieval Text clustering and classification Automatic speech recognition Statistical machine translation Natural language interfaces Word sense disambiguation Syntactic parsing... 5
6 Information retrieval 6
7 PageRank algorithm 7
8 Text clustering 8
9 Speech recognition 9
10 Natural language interfaces 10
11 Machine translation 11
12 Machine translation: large probabilistic models 12
13 Discussion Discuss 10 mins in groups of three or four: What kind of Natural Language Processing applications would be useful in your daily life? Are there applications you already use? How do they work? What does not work? 13
14 Complexity of languages A large proportion of modern human activity in its different forms is based on the use of language Large variation: morphology and syntactic structures Complexity of natural language(s) More than 6000 languages, many more dialects Each language a large number of different word forms Each word is understood differently by each speaker of a language at least to some degree 14
15 Languages in the internet 15
16 EU languages 16
17 Challenges of segmentation Modeling morphology - segmenting words istua "to sit", istuutua to sit down, Istun "I sit", istahdan "I sit down for a while" istahtaisin "I would sit down for a while" istahtaisinko? "should I sit down for a while?" istahtaisinkohan? "I wonder if I should sit down for a while?" Where are the word boundaries? 17
18 Challenge of modeling syntax 18
19 Challenge: semantics How to model the meaning of words? Semantic similarity: Vector space models Understanding the meaning of words? Subjectivity: learning language through individual life paths and thus end up having different ways of understanding and producing language. > How is successful communication possible? 19
20 Challenge of ambiguity break, cut, run, play, make, light, set, hold, clear, give, draw, take, fall, pass, head, etc. ( "haku" N ELA PL (of search) "hauki" N ELA PL (of pike) "hauis" N PTV SG (part of biceps) ( Big children and adults saw a man with a telescope 20
21 Example: color naming 21
22 Complex concepts: e.g. concept of computation 22
23 Different cultural contexts 23
24 Challenge of encoding world knowledge For good performance, world knowledge is needed Quantitatively this is challenging Qualitatively there are also many problems (mapping between language and the world is complex, cf. examples above) Note: world is essentially dynamic, continuous and multimodal,- symbolic systems are not 24
25 Corpus-based methods Corpora are large collections of text Annotated: add knowledge about words or structure into corpus Or just plain text Statistical information on Distribution of words and parts of words Structure Word similarity Allow us to build models and test hypotheses Allow us to explore Choose the best models based on statistics 25

29 Goals To learn how statistical and adaptive methods are used in information retrieval, machine translation, text mining, speech processing and related areas to process natural language data To learn how to apply the basic methods and techniques for clustering, classification, hidden Markov models and Bayesian models to model natural language 29
