Lab work: Group practical in (i) Turing test practical - Students can act out their own version of the Turing test (iii) Facial recognition practical to aid in teaching students how machine learning works with students simulating a facial recognition algorithm. Practical applications of NLP in groups – (i) Question Answering focuses on building systems that automatically answer the questions asked by humans in a natural language (ii) Spam detection application for detecting unwanted e-mails getting to a user's inbox (iii) Sentiment analysis/opinion mining should be used on the web to analyse the attitude, behaviour, and emotional state of the sender, implemented through a combination of NLP and statistics (iv) Practical exercise of machine translation used to translate text or speech from one natural language to another natural language such as the Google Translator (v) Developing a model to provide word processor software for the spelling correction (vi) Developing a model for speech recognition for converting spoken words into text (vii) Implementing a Chatbot to provide the staff/student's chat services. OR Group Practical exercise on agents and its environment using simulation of a colony of ants foraging for food; model simulating a message between agents; model simulating the flocking behaviour of birds; model to apply standard search algorithm to the classic search problem of missionaries and cannibals, and how to use communicating agents for searching networks. Some computer AI animation exercises for any branch of AI. Practical exercise on simple robots coupling and programming. Group project of building a lawn robot for trimming grasses, or any simple design and implementation of robotics. 400 Level
