Applied Programming

This in-depth course teaches you advanced programming techniques designed to help you tackle complex challenges in language and speech technology.

In this course you will practise solving complex problems in language and speech technology, by constructing programmes in Python. You will also learn more about:

  • Efficient Programming - Learn to create time- and memory-efficient programs. The course covers essential concepts such as algorithms and data structures appropriate for addressing specific problems within language and speech technology, optimized performance, and efficiency.
  • Use of External Libraries - Develop the ability to independently identify when and how external libraries should be integrated into your projects. You will gain practical experience in finding, evaluating, and implementing these libraries to enhance your programs.
  • Collaboration and Documentation - Learn to effectively contribute to larger software projects by constructing well-organized program components and following industry standards for code structure and documentation.

Applied Programming is an in-depth course and you need the course Introduction to programming to be eligible.

Both courses are given in the Master's programme in AI and Language.
