The second obligatory assignment is now online, on the Git repository. Your goal is to build a Norwegian dependency parser with finetuned transformer-based language models.
The first obligatory assignment is now online, on the Git repository. It deals with building a neural document classifier using bags-of-words or word embeddings as features.
The assignment is due March 3, but feel free to start working on it. We have already covered linear classifiers, feed-forward neural networks and word embeddings in the lectures.
We will provide extensive practice in building neural classifiers with PyTorch and word embeddings at the group sessions.
Hi everyone!
We have two important updates for you.
- There are currently issues with the IFI Mattermost which led to us teachers being kicked off from the IN5550 course channel. The system administrators are busy fixing the issues, so we'll be back soon. Meanwhile, please feel free to discuss whatever you want without the teachers. You can still reach us via email or direct messages in Mattermost.
- In case you get error 404 when trying to access the IN5550 GitHub repository, please send us an email with your UiO GitHub username. We will fix the problem.
See you at the group session tomorrow at 10:15!
Hi all,
The slides for the introductory lecture are now published, We have also now published slides and pre-recorded videos for the first "regular" lecture, focused on supervised machine learning (for your convenience, the lecture is split into 4 short episodes).
You can find these materials in the course schedule. On Monday, January 27th, we will have our first online Q&A session (in Zoom). Prior to the session, please watch the videos and read the slides. Note that some videos are pre-recorded in the previous years when this course was offered: thus, it is expected that you can encounter mentions of wrong dates or years other than 2025. In case of any contradictions, check the slides: they are all updated to the current (2025) incarnation of the course.
You are also advised to read chapters 1-3 o...
Welcome to our IN5550/IN9550 course which will guide you through deep learning applications in natural language processing!
The first introductory lecture this term will be held on Monday, January 20, at 14:15 (OJD, Seminarrom Prolog). We will go through course logistics (including routines for assignments and the final project-based exam) and motivate the now dominant use of neural machine learning architectures in Natural Language Processing (and most other sub-fields of Artificial Intelligence). The first lecture will be in-person.
Subsequent lectures (after the introductory one) wi...
