General course objectives:
|
The aim is to strengthen student's skill in logic programming and further to introduce to notions and techniques for computer processing of natural language based on logical methods. |
|
Learning objectives: |
| A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: |
- apply recursive logic progr. techniques
- describe natural language fragments by means of grammars
- develop and apply definite clause grammars for machine processing of language
- translate simple subsets of natural language into predicate logic
- explain basic principles in Montague semantics for natural language
- translate simple natural language queries into logical database queries
- explain principles of ontological semantics for natural language phrases
- explain how to compute database queries as Datalog logic programs
- implement inference procedures for language and ontology processing in logic programs
|
