It focuseson interactive text processing and dialogue systems.SLP811*** Dialogue Systems4 pg cpThis unit explores the issues involved in building significantnatural-language processing applications thatrequire interaction with their users. The unit focuses ontwo major application areas: text-based natural-languagequestion answering systems and spoken language dialoguesystems.SLP813*** Project in Speech andLanguage Processing4 pg cpA major research project on a topic relating to the coursematerial. Students will be encouraged to develop originalideas and implement working models where appropriate.SPH800 Speech Pathology I:Developmental and Acquired Speechand Swallowing Disorders4 pg cpIn this unit, disorders of articulation, phonology andswallowing that occur developmentally or throughacquired disorders will be presented.
