A Non-Programming Introduction To Computer Science Via NLP, IR, And AI
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a new Cornell University course serving as a nonprogramming introduction to computer science, with natural language processing and information retrieval forming a crucial part of the syllabus. Material was drawn from a wide variety of topics (such as theories of discourse structure and random graph models of the World Wide Web) and presented at some technical depth, but was massaged to make it suitable for a freshman-level course. Student feedback from the first running of the class was overall quite positive, and a grant from the GE Fund has been awarded to further support the course’s development and goals.

Introduction in Natural Language Processing
Natural Language processing (NLP) is a field of computer science and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages. In theory, natural-language processing is a very attractive method of human-computer interaction. Natural-language understanding is sometimes referred to as an AI-complete problem, because natural-language recognition seems to require ...
متن کاملMulti-choice stochastic bi-level programming problem in cooperative nature via fuzzy programming approach
In this paper, a Multi-Choice Stochastic Bi-Level Programming Problem (MCSBLPP) is considered where all the parameters of constraints are followed by normal distribution. The cost coefficients of the objective functions are multi-choice types. At first, all the probabilistic constraints are transformed into deterministic constraints using stochastic programming approach. Further, a general tran...
متن کاملUnhappy bedfellows: the relationship of AI and IR
Introduction Speaking of Artificial Intelligence in the past, one sometimes refers to “classical” or “traditional” AI, and the intended contrast with the present refers to the series of shocks that paradigm suffered from connectionism and neural nets to adaptive behaviour theories. The shock was not of the new, of course, because those theories were mostly improved versions of cybernetics which...
متن کاملEquation Embeddings
We present an unsupervised approach for discovering semantic representations of mathematical equations. Equations are challenging to analyze because each is unique, or nearly unique. Our method, which we call equation embeddings, finds good representations of equations by using the representations of their surrounding words. We used equation embeddings to analyze four collections of scientific ...
متن کاملTeaching NLP to Computer Science Majors via Applications and Experiments
Most computer science majors at Northern Illinois University, whether at the B.S. or M.S. level, are professionally oriented. However, some of the best students are willing to try something completely different. NLP is a challenge for them because most have no background in linguistics or artificial intelligence, have little experience in reading traditional academic prose, and are unused to op...
