3.Contents:

1. Introduction : NLP tasks in syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Applications such as

information extraction, question answering, and machine translation. The problem of
ambiguity. The role of machine learning. Brief history of the field.

2. N-gram Language Models :The role of language models. Simple N-gram models.
Estimating parameters and smoothing. Evaluating language models.

3. Part Of Speech Tagging and Sequence Labeling : Lexical syntax. Hidden Markov
Models. Maximum Entropy Models. Conditional Random Fields .

4. Syntactic parsing : Grammar formalisms and treebanks. Efficient parsing for context-
free grammars (CFGs). Statistical parsing and probabilistic CFGs (PCFGs). Lexicalized
PCFGs.
