……………..is a discipline between linguistics and computer science which is concerned with the computational aspects of the human language
Computational linguistics (CL)
T/F Computational linguistics has applied and theoretical components.
T
T/F Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational
Linguistics are two terms that are often used interchangeably in
the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

T/F
- NLP focuses on the practical application of language processing technologies
- Computational Linguistics focuses on the scientific study of language from a computational perspective

NLP vs. CL: Understanding the Differences
⚫ Natural Language Processing (NLP):
* A subfield of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
* Focuses on human-computer interaction using natural
language
* Involves designing algorithms and models to:
* Understand
* Interpret
* Generate human language
⚫ Computational Linguistics (CL):
* A subfield of Linguistics with strong ties to Computer
Science
* Focuses on the scientific study of language using
computational methods
* Involves developing models to analyze language at levels
such as: Phonetics, Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics
T/F Another key difference between NLP and Computational Linguistics is the level of abstraction.
T
T/F NLP focuses on the practical implementation of algorithms and models that can process natural language, while Computational Linguistics focuses on the theoretical and mathematical foundations of language processing
T
T/F NLP and Computational Linguistics differ not only in focus, but also in methods used.
NLP typically relies on machine learning techniques, such as deep
learning and statistical modeling, to analyze and generate natural
language.
Computational Linguistics, on the other hand, relies on a combination
of linguistics, mathematics, and computer science to develop
algorithms and models that can analyze and generate language.
