This programming course offers an introduction to programming, specially designed to process and analyze language data. Throughout the course, you will learn to:

  • Solve language and speech technological problems - we will guide you through the process of creating your own programs that can solve real language and speech technology problems. 
  • Programme in style - learn how to write clean and readable code. We cover everything from how to document your code to handling errors effectively and creating code that is easy to update and maintain.
  • Debugging and problem solving - you will learn techniques for debugging and improving existing programs.
  • Modern tools - use the latest tools and plattforms that make programming smoother and more efficient. We also introduce the use of external libraries for modern language and speech technolocy.

Introduction to programming is a course in our Master's Programme in AI and Language.
