Language Processing for Art: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking.

This course explores the relationship between text and image, interactivity, and the database/archive from the perspective of contemporary language processing techologies.

We will survey recent developments from the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics (CL) as well as relevant artistic upper-level course exploring natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics (CL) as applied to art. It explores questions of the relationship between text and image, interactivity, and the database/archive from the perspective of contemporary language processing technologies. This is an upper-level course, and requires previous programming experience.
