NLP A

This document outlines the course objectives, modules, experiments, and assessments for a Natural Language Processing course and corresponding lab. The course introduces fundamental NLP concepts and algorithms across various language levels, and teaches how to design and implement applications like information extraction and question answering. The lab component applies techniques like text preprocessing, POS tagging, chunking, and named entity recognition, and requires completing a mini project on a real-world NLP application. Students are evaluated based on internal assessments, end-semester exams, term work, and an oral exam.

Assessment:
Internal Assessment:
Assessment consists of two class tests of 20 marks each. The first class test is to be conducted when
approx. 40% syllabus is completed and second class test when additional 40% syllabus is completed.
Duration of each test shall be one hour.
End Semester Theory Examination:
1 Question paper will comprise of total six questions.
2 All question carries equal marks
3 Questions will be mixed in nature (for example supposed Q.2 has part (a) from module 3 then
part (b) will be from any module other than module 3)
4 Only Four question need to be solved
5 In question paper weightage of each module will be proportional to number of respective lecture
hours as mention in the syllabus
