PLO 7. To understand major problems of philology and approaches to their solution with the use of relevant methods, in particular, innovative interdisciplinary approaches of applied (computational) linguistics and information technologies; to explain their interrelation in the integrated system of interdisciplinary knowledge. PLO 12. To analyze language units, phenomena, and processes by methods of structural, mathematical, and computational linguistics; to represent the processes of analysis and synthesis of linguistic objects in an algorithmic way. PLO: 17, 25.

Full-time form

1) Successful completion of courses: Introduction to Linguistics, Introduction to Computational Linguistics, Phonetics of the Ukrainian Language, Applied Phonetics, Corpus Linguistics, Basics of Informatics, Basics of Programming; 2) Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of general linguistics, phonetics of the modern Ukrainian language, mathematical and computer linguistics, computer science, and programming; 3) Mastery of phonetic analysis techniques; the basics of corpus technologies, elementary skills of mathematical and computer modeling of linguistic phenomena; mathematical basics of computer technology; 4) Ability to use phonetic and prosodic transcription; carry out corpus markup at different levels, use a programming language to solve problems of input, output, and processing of text and speech information.

Within the scope of the discipline, the main directions of the field of speech information technologies (automatic synthesis and recognition of spoken speech, speaker recognition, speech recognition) are considered; modern technologies for creating sound databases and knowledge; the methods of extracting acoustic-phonetic information from the speech flow are learned, as well as the history and current state of approaches to speech synthesis and recognition. In practical classes, students will have the opportunity to test modern speech recognition and synthesis systems, experiment with different approaches to speech synthesis, and work with modern databases and knowledge for speech recognition.

Lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes, independent work. Types of work: Answer at the seminar session; Lab; Report-analysis of scientific literature; Independent practical work (individual task/participation in a joint project).

During the semester, evaluation is carried out according to the types of work (answers in a seminar class, laboratory work, report-analysis of scientific literature, independent practical work (individual task/participation in a joint project)). The credit is given based on the results of the student's work during the entire semester and does not include additional assessment measures. Students who scored the minimum positive number of points - 60, receive - "Passed". Students who did not score the minimum positive number of points - 60, receive - "Failed".
