Welcome to Natural Language Processing for Business Analytics. 

Over the last few years, natural language processing (NLP) has been one of the most revolutionary fields of artificial intelligence (AI). NLP gives machines the ability to extract meaning from human languages and make decisions based on this data. In other words, NLP helps computers communicate with humans in their own language.

This course provides the necessary fundamentals for the development of modern NLP systems based on machine learning. We cover a wide range of feature extraction and modeling techniques including recent innovations in the field of deep neural networks and their capabilities of automated feature learning. Additionally, we also look at further aspects such as ethical issues and the use of explainable artificial intelligence methods to gain insights about the functioning of learned models.

The course has a strong practical focus. At the beginning of the semester, all fundamentals are provided and students with less knowledge in programming have the opportunity to catch up in a bootcamp introductory session before learning the fundamentals in hands-on exercises. Afterwards, students are encouraged to work (in groups) on real projects to apply the methods and concepts learned during the teaching sessions. The results are presented and discussed at the end of the semester.

Die Vorlesung Enterprise Systems 2 ist Bestandteil des Master-Moduls Anwendungssysteme 2 und findet jeweils Dienstags von 11:15-12:45 in Seminarraum 6 (I 129) statt.
