NLP Resources

Dr Peter Coxhead

Between 1998 and 2008, I taught a final year module on Natural Language Processing & Applications at both the University of Aston and the University of Birmingham. Some resources from this teaching may still be useful, and are linked from here.

» NLP Glossary. Attempts to explain linguistic terms simply to non-specialists.

» NLP Interactive. This web site was originally prepared by Dean Parker, a student from Aston University who graduated in 2000, as his final year project. It consists of online interactive tests and exercises, based on the approach of my lectures and the NLP Glossary.

Lecture Notes A full set of notes is available from the last set of lectures I delivered (in the Academic Year 2007/08). Note that these are no longer updated!
