My primary research work is in Theoretical Computer Science.

 * Research Interest: Spectral Graph theory, Pseudorandomness, Complexity theory, Coding Theory, Quantum Information Theory, Combinatorics.

The IW projects I am interested in advising can be divided into three categories:

 1. Theoretical research

I am open to advise work on research projects in any topic in one of my research areas of interest. A project could also be based on writing a survey given results from a few papers. Students should have a solid background in math (e.g., elementary combinatorics, graph theory, discrete probability, basic algebra/calculus) and theoretical computer science (226 and 240 material, like big-O/Omega/Theta, basic complexity theory, basic fundamental algorithms). Mathematical maturity is a must.

A (non exhaustive) list of topics of projects I'm interested in:   * Explicit constructions of better vertex expanders and/or unique neighbor expanders.   * Construction deterministic or random high dimensional expanders.   * Pseudorandom generators for different problems.   * Topics around the quantum PCP conjecture.   * Topics around quantum error correcting codes and locally testable codes, including constructions, encoding and decoding algorithms.

 2. Theory informed practical implementations of algorithms   Very often the great advances in theoretical research are either not tested in practice or not even feasible to be implemented in practice. Thus, I am interested in any project that consists in trying to make theoretical ideas applicable in practice. This includes coming up with new algorithms that trade some theoretical guarantees for feasible implementation yet trying to retain the soul of the original idea; implementing new algorithms in a suitable programming language; and empirically testing practical implementations and comparing them with benchmarks / theoretical expectations. A project in this area doesn't have to be in my main areas of research, any theoretical result could be suitable for such a project.

Some examples of areas of interest:   * Streaming algorithms.   * Numeric linear algebra.   * Property testing.   * Parallel / Distributed algorithms.   * Online algorithms.    3. Machine learning with a theoretical foundation

I am interested in projects in machine learning that have some mathematical/theoretical, even if most of the project is applied. This includes topics like mathematical optimization, statistical learning, fairness and privacy.

One particular area I have been recently interested in is in the area of rating systems (e.g., Chess elo) and applications of this to experts problems.

Final Note: I am also willing to advise any project with any mathematical/theoretical component, even if it's not the main one; please reach out via email to chat about project ideas.

Opportunities outside the department

We encourage students to look in to doing interdisciplinary computer science research and to work with professors in departments other than computer science.  However, every CS independent work project must have a strong computer science element (even if it has other scientific or artistic elements as well.)  To do a project with an adviser outside of computer science you must have permission of the department.  This can be accomplished by having a second co-adviser within the computer science department or by contacting the independent work supervisor about the project and having he or she sign the independent work proposal form.

Here is a list of professors outside the computer science department who are eager to work with computer science undergraduates.

NLP Projects & Topics

Natural Language Processing or NLP is an AI component concerned with the interaction between human language and computers. When you are a beginner in the field of software development, it can be tricky to find NLP projects that match your learning needs. So, we have collated some examples to get you started. So, if you are a ML beginner, the best thing you can do is work on some NLP projects.

We, here at upGrad, believe in a practical approach as theoretical knowledge alone won’t be of help in a real-time work environment. In this article, we will be exploring some interesting  NLP projects which beginners can work on to put their knowledge to test. In this article, you will find top NLP project ideas for beginners to get hands-on experience on NLP.

But first, let’s address the more pertinent question that must be lurking in your mind:  why to build NLP projects ?

undergraduate research topics natural language processing

When it comes to careers in software development, it is a must for aspiring developers to work on their own projects. Developing real-world projects is the best way to hone your skills and materialize your theoretical knowledge into practical experience.

NLP is all about analyzing and representing human language computationally. It equips computers to respond using context clues just like a human would. Some everyday applications of NLP around us include spell check, autocomplete, spam filters, voice text messaging, and virtual assistants like Alexa, Siri, etc. As you start working on  NLP projects , you will not only be able to test your strengths and weaknesses, but you will also gain exposure that can be immensely helpful to boost your career.

In the last few years, NLP has garnered considerable attention across industries. And the rise of technologies like text and speech recognition, sentiment analysis, and machine-to-human communications, has inspired several innovations. Research suggests that the global NLP market will hit US$ 28.6 billion in market value in 2026. 

undergraduate research topics natural language processing

When it comes to building real-life applications, knowledge of machine learning basics is crucial. However, it is not essential to have an intensive background in mathematics or theoretical computer science. With a project-based approach, you can develop and train your models even without technical credentials. Learn more about NLP Applications.

To help you in this journey, we have compiled a list of NLP project ideas , which are inspired by actual software products sold by companies. You can use these resources to brush up your ML fundamentals, understand their applications, and pick up new skills during the implementation stage. The more you experiment with different  NLP projects , the more knowledge you gain.

Before we dive into our lineup of NLP projects , let us first note the explanatory structure. 

The project implementation plan

All the projects included in this article will have a similar architecture, which is given below: 

This pattern is known as real-time inference and brings in multiple benefits to your NLP design. Firstly, it offloads your main application to a server that is built explicitly for ML models. So, it makes the computation process less cumbersome. Next, it lets you incorporate predictions via an API. And finally, it enables you to deploy the APIs and automate the entire infrastructure by using open-source tools, such as Cortex. 

Here is a summary of how you can deploy machine learning models with Cortex:

Now that we have given you the outline let us move on to our list!

So, here are a few  NLP Projects  which beginners can work on:

NLP Project Ideas

This list of  NLP projects for students is suited for beginners, intermediates & experts. These NLP  projects will get you going with all the practicalities you need to succeed in your career.

Further, if you’re looking for  NLP projects for final year , this list should get you going. So, without further ado, let’s jump straight into some  NLP projects that will strengthen your base and allow you to climb up the ladder. This list is also great for Natural Language Processing projects in Python . 

Here are some NLP project idea that should help you take a step forward in the right direction.

1. A customer support bot

One of the best ideas to start experimenting you hands-on  NLP projects for students is working on customer support bot. A conventional chatbot answers basic customer queries and routine requests with canned responses. But these bots cannot recognize more nuanced questions. So, support bots are now equipped with artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to overcome these limitations. In addition to understanding and comparing user inputs, they can generate answers to questions on their own without pre-written responses. 

For example, Reply.ai has built a custom ML-powered bot to provide customer support. According to the company, an average organization can take care of almost 40 % of its inbound support requests with their tool. Now, let us describe the model required to implement a project inspired by this product. 

You can use Microsoft’s DialoGPT, which is a pre-trained dialogue response generation model. It extends the systems of PyTorch Transformers (from Hugging Face) and GPT-2 (from OpenAI) to return answers to the text queries entered. You can run an entire DialoGPT deployment with Cortex. There are several repositories available online for you to clone. Once you have deployed the API, connect it to your front-end UI, and enhance your customer service efficiency!

2. A language identifier

Have you noticed that Google Chrome can detect which language in which a web page is written? It can do so by using a language identifier based on a neural network model. 

This is an excellent NLP projects for beginners. The process of determining the language of a particular body of text involves rummaging through different dialects, slangs, common words between different languages, and the use of multiple languages in one page. But with machine learning, this task becomes a lot simpler.

You can construct your own language identifier with the fastText model by Facebook. The model is an extension of the word2vec tool and uses word embeddings to understand a language. Here, word vectors allow you to map a word based on its semantics — for instance, upon subtracting the vector for “male” from the vector for “king” and adding the vector for “female,” you will end up with the vector for “queen.”

A distinctive characteristic of fastText is that it can understand obscure words by breaking them down into n-grams. When it is given an unfamiliar word, it analyzes the smaller n-grams, or the familiar roots present within it to find the meaning. Deploying fastTExt as an API is quite straightforward, especially when you can take help from online repositories.

3. An ML-powered autocomplete feature

Autocomplete typically functions via the key value lookup, wherein the incomplete terms entered by the user are compared to a dictionary to suggest possible options of words. This feature can be taken up a notch with machine learning by predicting the next words or phrases in your message.

Here, the model will be trained on user inputs instead of referencing a static dictionary. A prime example of an ML-based autocomplete is Gmail’s ‘Smart Reply’ option, which generates relevant replies to your emails. Now, let us see how you can build such a feature. 

For this project, you can use the RoBERTa language model. It was introduced at Facebook by improving Google’s BERT technique. Its training methodology and computing power outperform other models in many NLP metrics. 

To receive your prediction using this model, you would first need to load a pre-trained RoBERTa through PyTorch Hub. Then, use the built-in method of fill_mask(), which would let you pass in a string and guide your direction to where RoBERTa would predict the next word or phrase. After this, you can deploy RoBERTa as an API and write a front-end function to query your model with user input. Mentioning NLP projects can help your resume look much more interesting than others.

4. A predictive text generator

This is one of the interesting NLP projects. Have you ever heard of the game AI Dungeon 2? It is a classic example of a text adventure game built using the GPT-2 prediction model. The game is trained on an archive of interactive fiction and demonstrates the wonders of auto-generated text by coming up with open-ended storylines. Although machine learning in the area of game development is still at a nascent stage, it is set to transform experiences in the near future. Learn how python performs in game development .

DeepTabNine serves as another example of auto-generated text. It is an ML-powered coding autocomplete for a variety of programming languages. You can install it as an add-on to use within your IDE and benefit from fast and accurate code suggestions. Let us see how you can create your own version of this NLP tool. 

You should go for Open AI’s GPT-2 model for this project. It is particularly easy to implement a full pre-trained model and to interact with it thereafter. You can refer to online tutorials to deploy it using the Cortex platform. And this is the perfect idea for your next NLP project!

5. A media monitor

One of the best ideas to start experimenting you hands-on NLP projects for students is working on media monitor. In the modern business environment, user opinion is a crucial denominator of your brand’s success. Customers can openly share how they feel about your products on social media and other digital platforms. Therefore, today’s businesses want to track online mentions of their brand. The most significant fillip to these monitoring efforts has come from the use of machine learning. 

For example, the analytics platform Keyhole can filter all the posts in your social media stream and provide you with a sentiment timeline that displays the positive, neutral, or negative opinion. Similarly, an ML-backed sift through news sites. Take the case of the financial sector where organizations can apply NLP to gauge the sentiment about their company from digital news sources. 

Such media analytics can also improve customer service. For example, providers of financial services can monitor and gain insights from relevant news events (such as oil spills) to assist clients who have holdings in that industry. 

You can follow these steps to execute a project on this topic: 

We are currently experiencing an exponential increase in data from the internet, personal devices, and social media. And with the rising business need for harnessing value from this largely unstructured data, the use of NLP instruments will dominate the industry in the coming years.

Such developments will also jumpstart the momentum for innovations and breakthroughs, which will impact not only the big players but also influence small businesses to introduce workarounds.

These projects are very basic, someone with a good knowledge of NLP can easily manage to pick and finish any of these projects.

Can I do this projects on ML Internship?

Yes, as mentioned, these project ideas are basically for Students or Beginners. There is a high possibility that you get to work on any of these project ideas during your internship.

Why do we need to build NLP projects?

What is natural language processing.

Natural language processing (NLP) is a subject of computer science—specifically, a branch of artificial intelligence (AI)—concerning the ability of computers to comprehend text and spoken words in the same manner that humans can. Computational linguistics—rule-based human language modeling—is combined with statistical, learning algorithms, and deep learning models.

How to implement any NLP project?

The design of all the projects will be the same: Implementing a pre-trained model, deploying the model as an API, and connecting the API to your primary application. Real-time inference is a pattern that delivers several benefits to your NLP design. To begin with, it offloads your core application to a server designed specifically for machine learning models. As a result, the computation procedure is simplified. Then, using an API, you may incorporate predictions. Finally, it allows you to use open-source tools like Cortex to install APIs and automate the entire architecture.

How to construct a language identifier?

This is a fantastic NLP project for newcomers. The method of identifying the language of a body of text entails combing through many dialects, slangs, cross-language common terms, and the use of numerous languages on a single page. This task, however, becomes a lot easier with machine learning. With Facebook's fastText concept, you can create your own language identifier. The model employs word embeddings to comprehend a language and is an expansion of the word2vec tool. Word vectors enable you to map a word based on its semantics — for example, you can get the vector for Queen by subtracting the vector for Male from the vector for King and adding the vector for Female.

The Power of Natural Language Processing

How companies can use NLP to help with brainstorming, summarizing, and researching.

The conventional wisdom around AI has been that while computers have the edge over humans when it comes to data-driven decision making, it can’t compete on qualitative tasks. That, however, is changing. Natural language processing (NLP) tools have advanced rapidly and can help with writing, coding, and discipline-specific reasoning. Companies that want to make use of this new tech should focus on the following: 1) Identify text data assets and determine how the latest techniques can be leveraged to add value for your firm, 2) understand how you might leverage AI-based language technologies to make better decisions or reorganize your skilled labor, 3) begin incorporating new language-based AI tools for a variety of tasks to better understand their capabilities, and 4) don’t underestimate the transformative potential of AI.

Until recently, the conventional wisdom was that while AI was better than humans at data-driven decision making tasks , it was still inferior to humans for cognitive and creative ones . But in the past two years language-based AI has advanced by leaps and bounds, changing common notions of what this technology can do.

The most visible advances have been in what’s called “natural language processing” (NLP), the branch of AI focused on how computers can process language like humans do. It has been used to write an article for The Guardian , and AI-authored blog posts have gone viral — feats that weren’t possible a few years ago . AI even excels at cognitive tasks like programming where it is able to generate programs for simple video games from human instructions .

Yet while these stunts may be attention grabbing, are they really indicative of what this tech can do for businesses?

What NLP Can Do

The best known natural language processing tool is GPT-3 , from OpenAI, which uses AI and statistics to predict the next word in a sentence based on the preceding words. NLP practitioners call tools like this “language models,” and they can be used for simple analytics tasks, such as classifying documents and analyzing the sentiment in blocks of text, as well as more advanced tasks, such as answering questions and summarizing reports. Language models are already reshaping traditional text analytics , but GPT-3 was an especially pivotal language model because, at 10x larger than any previous model upon release, it was the first large language model , which enabled it to perform even more advanced tasks like programming and solving high school–level math problems . The latest version, called InstructGPT , has been fine-tuned by humans to generate responses that are much better aligned with human values and user intentions, and Google’s latest model shows further impressive breakthroughs on language and reasoning .

For businesses, the three areas where GPT-3 has appeared most promising are writing, coding, and discipline-specific reasoning. OpenAI, the Microsoft-funded creator of GPT-3, has developed a GPT-3-based language model intended to act as an assistant for programmers by generating code from natural language input. This tool, Codex, is already powering products like Copilot for Microsoft’s subsidiary GitHub and is capable of creating a basic video game simply by typing instructions . This transformative capability was already expected to change the nature of how programmers do their jobs , but models continue to improve — the latest from Google’s DeepMind AI lab, for example, demonstrates the critical thinking and logic skills necessary to outperform most humans in programming competitions.

Models like GPT-3 are considered to be foundation models — an emerging AI research area — which also work for other types of data such as images and video. Foundation models can even be trained on multiple forms of data at the same time, like OpenAI’s DALL·E 2 , which is trained on language and images to generate high-resolution renderings of imaginary scenes or objects simply from text prompts. Due to their potential to transform the nature of cognitive work, economists expect that foundation models may affect every part of the economy and could lead to increases in economic growth similar to the industrial revolution.

A Language-Based AI Research Assistant

In my own work, I’ve been looking at how GPT-3-based tools can assist researchers in the research process. I am currently working with Ought , a San Francisco company developing an open-ended reasoning tool (called Elicit ) that is intended to help researchers answer questions in minutes or hours instead of weeks or months. Elicit is designed for a growing number of specific tasks relevant to research, like summarization, data labeling, rephrasing, brainstorming, and literature reviews.

I’ve found — not surprisingly — that Elicit works better for some tasks than others. Tasks like data labeling and summarization are still rough around the edges, with noisy results and spotty accuracy, but research from Ought and research from OpenAI shows promise for the future.

For example, the rephrase task is useful for writing, but the lack of integration with word processing apps renders it impractical for now. Brainstorming tasks are great for generating ideas or identifying overlooked topics, and despite the noisy results and barriers to adoption, they are currently valuable for a variety of situations. Yet, of all the tasks Elicit offers, I find the literature review the most useful. Because Elicit is an AI research assistant, this is sort of its bread-and-butter, and when I need to start digging into a new research topic, it has become my go-to resource.

All of this is changing how I work. I spend much less time trying to find existing content relevant to my research questions because its results are more applicable than other, more traditional interfaces for academic search like Google Scholar. I am also beginning to integrate brainstorming tasks into my work as well, and my experience with these tools has inspired my latest research, which seeks to utilize foundation models for supporting strategic planning.

How Can Organizations Prepare for the Future?

Identify your text data assets and determine how the latest techniques can be leveraged to add value for your firm..

You are certainly aware of the value of data , but you still may be overlooking some essential data assets if you are not utilizing text analytics and NLP throughout your organization. Text data is certainly valuable for customer experience management and understanding the voice of the customer , but think about other text data assets in your organization: emails, analysts’ reports, contracts, press releases, archives — even meetings and phone calls can be transcribed.

There is so much text data, and you don’t need advanced models like GPT-3 to extract its value. Hugging Face , an NLP startup, recently released AutoNLP , a new tool that automates training models for standard text analytics tasks by simply uploading your data to the platform. The data still needs labels, but far fewer than in other applications. Because many firms have made ambitious bets on AI only to struggle to drive value into the core business, remain cautious to not be overzealous. This can be a good first step that your existing machine learning engineers — or even talented data scientists — can manage.

To take the next step, again, identify your data assets. Many sectors, and even divisions within your organization, use highly specialized vocabularies. Through a combination of your data assets and open datasets, train a model for the needs of specific sectors or divisions. Think of finance. You do not want a model specialized in finance. You want a model customized for commercial banking, or for capital markets. And data is critical, but now it is unlabeled data, and the more the better. Specialized models like this can unlock untold value for your firm.

Understand how you might leverage AI-based language technologies to make better decisions or reorganize your skilled labor.

Language-based AI won’t replace jobs, but it will automate many tasks, even for decision makers. Startups like Verneek are creating Elicit-like tools to enable everyone to make data-informed decisions. These new tools will transcend traditional business intelligence and will transform the nature of many roles in organizations — programmers are just the beginning.

You need to start understanding how these technologies can be used to reorganize your skilled labor. The next generation of tools like OpenAI’s Codex will lead to more productive programmers, which likely means fewer dedicated programmers and more employees with modest programming skills using them for an increasing number of more complex tasks. This may not be true for all software developers, but it has significant implications for tasks like data processing and web development.

Begin incorporating new language-based AI tools for a variety of tasks to better understand their capabilities.

Right now tools like Elicit are just emerging, but they can already be useful in surprising ways. In fact, the previous suggestion was inspired by one of Elicit’s brainstorming tasks conditioned on my other three suggestions. The original suggestion itself wasn’t perfect, but it reminded me of some critical topics that I had overlooked, and I revised the article accordingly. In organizations, tasks like this can assist strategic thinking or scenario-planning exercises. Although there is tremendous potential for such applications, right now the results are still relatively crude, but they can already add value in their current state.

The bottom line is that you need to encourage broad adoption of language-based AI tools throughout your business. It is difficult to anticipate just how these tools might be used at different levels of your organization, but the best way to get an understanding of this tech may be for you and other leaders in your firm to adopt it yourselves. Don’t bet the boat on it because some of the tech may not work out, but if your team gains a better understanding of what is possible, then you will be ahead of the competition. Remember that while current AI might not be poised to replace managers, managers who understand AI are poised to replace managers who don’t.

Do not underestimate the transformative potential of AI.

Large foundation models like GPT-3 exhibit abilities to generalize to a large number of tasks without any task-specific training. The recent progress in this tech is a significant step toward human-level generalization and general artificial intelligence that are the ultimate goals of many AI researchers, including those at OpenAI and Google’s DeepMind. Such systems have tremendous disruptive potential that could lead to AI-driven explosive economic growth, which would radically transform business and society . While you may still be skeptical of radically transformative AI like artificial general intelligence, it is prudent for organizations’ leaders to be cognizant of early signs of progress due to its tremendous disruptive potential.

Consider that former Google chief Eric Schmidt expects general artificial intelligence in 10–20 years and that the UK recently took an official position on risks from artificial general intelligence . Had organizations paid attention to Anthony Fauci’s 2017 warning on the importance of pandemic preparedness, the most severe effects of the pandemic and ensuing supply chain crisis may have been avoided. Ignoring the transformative potential of AI also carries risks, and similar to the supply chain crisis, firms’ inaction or irresponsible use of AI could have widespread and damaging effects on society (e.g., increasing inequality or domain-specific risks from automation). However, unlike the supply chain crisis, societal changes from transformative AI will likely be irreversible and could even continue to accelerate. Organizations should begin preparing now not only to capitalize on transformative AI, but to do their part to avoid undesirable futures and ensure that advanced AI is used to equitably benefit society.

Language-Based AI Tools Are Here to Stay

Powerful generalizable language-based AI tools like Elicit are here, and they are just the tip of the iceberg; multimodal foundation model-based tools are poised to transform business in ways that are still difficult to predict. To begin preparing now, start understanding your text data assets and the variety of cognitive tasks involved in different roles in your organization. Aggressively adopt new language-based AI technologies; some will work well and others will not, but your employees will be quicker to adjust when you move on to the next. And don’t forget to adopt these technologies yourself — this is the best way for you to start to understand their future roles in your organization.

Generally, natural language processing is the sub-branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Natural language processing is otherwise known as NLP. It is compatible in dealing with multi-linguistic aspects and they convert the text into binary formats in which computers can understand it.  Primarily, the device understands the texts and then translates according to the questions asked. These processes are getting done with the help of several techniques. As this article is concentrated on delivering the natural language processing thesis topics , we are going to reveal each and every aspect that is needed for an effective NLP thesis .

NLP has a wide range of areas to explore in which enormous researches will be conducted. As the matter of fact, they analyses emotions, processes images, summarize texts, answer the questions & translates automatically, and so on.

Thesis writing is one of the important steps in researches. As they can deliver the exact perceptions of the researcher to the opponents hence it is advisable to frame the proper one. Let us begin this article with an overview of the NLP system . Are you ready to sail with us? Come on, guys!!!

“This is the article which is framed to the NLP enthusiasts in order to offer the natural language processing thesis topics”

What is Actually an NLP?

This is a crisp overview of the NLP system. NLP is one of the major technologies that are being used in the day to day life. Without these technologies, we could not even imagine a single scenario . In fact, they minimized the time of human beings by means of spelling checks, grammatical formations and most importantly they are highly capable of handling audio data . In this regard, let us have an idea of how does the NLP works in general. Shall we get into that section? Come let’s move on to that!!!

How does NLP Works?

The above listed are necessary when input is given to the model. The NLP model is in need of the above-itemized aspects to process the unstructured data in order to offer the structured data by means of parsing, stemming and lemmatization, and so on. In fact, NLP is subject to the classifications by their eminent features such as generation & understanding.  Yes my dear students we are going to cover the next sections with the NLP classifications.  

Classifications of NLP

The above listed are the 2 major classifications of NLP technology . In these classifications let us have further brief explanations of the natural language-based understanding for your better understanding.

This is how the natural language-based understanding is sub-classified according to its functions.

Black background with blue dots

Natural language processing (NLP) refers to the branch of computer science—and more specifically, the branch of  artificial intelligence or AI —concerned with giving computers the ability to understand text and spoken words in much the same way human beings can.

NLP combines computational linguistics—rule-based modeling of human language—with statistical, machine learning, and deep learning models. Together, these technologies enable computers to process human language in the form of text or voice data and to ‘understand’ its full meaning, complete with the speaker or writer’s intent and sentiment.

NLP drives computer programs that translate text from one language to another, respond to spoken commands, and summarize large volumes of text rapidly—even in real time. There’s a good chance you’ve interacted with NLP in the form of voice-operated GPS systems, digital assistants, speech-to-text dictation software, customer service chatbots, and other consumer conveniences. But NLP also plays a growing role in enterprise solutions that help streamline business operations, increase employee productivity, and simplify mission-critical business processes.

Human language is filled with ambiguities that make it incredibly difficult to write software that accurately determines the intended meaning of text or voice data. Homonyms, homophones, sarcasm, idioms, metaphors, grammar and usage exceptions, variations in sentence structure—these just a few of the irregularities of human language that take humans years to learn, but that programmers must teach natural language-driven applications to recognize and understand accurately from the start, if those applications are going to be useful.

Several NLP tasks break down human text and voice data in ways that help the computer make sense of what it's ingesting. Some of these tasks include the following:

See the blog post “ NLP vs. NLU vs. NLG: the differences between three natural language processing concepts ” for a deeper look into how these concepts relate.

Python and the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK)

The Python programing language provides a wide range of tools and libraries for attacking specific NLP tasks. Many of these are found in the Natural Language Toolkit, or NLTK, an open source collection of libraries, programs, and education resources for building NLP programs.

The NLTK includes libraries for many of the NLP tasks listed above, plus libraries for subtasks, such as sentence parsing, word segmentation, stemming and lemmatization (methods of trimming words down to their roots), and tokenization (for breaking phrases, sentences, paragraphs and passages into tokens that help the computer better understand the text). It also includes libraries for implementing capabilities such as semantic reasoning, the ability to reach logical conclusions based on facts extracted from text.

Statistical NLP, machine learning, and deep learning

The earliest NLP applications were hand-coded, rules-based systems that could perform certain NLP tasks, but couldn't easily scale to accommodate a seemingly endless stream of exceptions or the increasing volumes of text and voice data.

Enter statistical NLP, which combines computer algorithms with machine learning and deep learning models to automatically extract, classify, and label elements of text and voice data and then assign a statistical likelihood to each possible meaning of those elements. Today, deep learning models and learning techniques based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) enable NLP systems that 'learn' as they work and extract ever more accurate meaning from huge volumes of raw, unstructured, and unlabeled text and voice data sets. 

For a deeper dive into the nuances between these technologies and their learning approaches, see “ AI vs. Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning vs. Neural Networks: What’s the Difference? ”

Natural language processing is the driving force behind machine intelligence in many modern real-world applications. Here are a few examples:

Cornell NLP Computational Linguistics Lab Machine Learning at Cornell

Cornell researchers in natural language processing are interested in computational models of human language and machine learning, applying a computational lens to a broad set of projects in the areas of linguistic analysis, natural language understanding systems, social science, and humanities.

Representing Cornell's two campuses and several university departments, NLP scholars use computational methods to dig deeper into the words we use and apply that analysis to a wide range of topics – from online trolling and bias in tennis reporting, to the language of both persuasion and betrayal.

Summer internships.

Summer 2022 Internships in Natural Language Processing

We are looking for interested and qualified students (graduate and undergraduate) to spend the summer working with ongoing research projects at USC/ISI on natural language processing, machine learning, statistical modeling, machine translation, creative language generation, and other areas.

These are paid internships. They will be available for a three month (12 week) period during the summer of 2022. The internships will, if possible, be held in Marina del Rey, however due to COVID-19 restrictions they may be virtual internships.  If virtual, interns must nevertheless reside in the United States during the internship.

Good programming skills are required, but prior experience in natural language processing is not necessarily required. We will provide tutorials on relevant topics at the beginning of the summer.

Important dates

"The NLP summer internship will not take place in  2023 . Please stay tuned for more opportunities to come!"

How to Apply

Please follow this link . You will be required to submit a statement and provide email addresses of up to three people who will write letters of recommendation. 

Project Areas of Interest

Research Environment

Summer internship projects are supervised by Jonathan May , Xuezhe Ma , and Muhao Chen . Interns also interact and collaborate closely with the rest of ISI's Natural Language Group. Our group's research environment includes weekly seminars and reading groups, opportunities for teaching and advising, an active program for summer students, large quantities of linguistic resources, and a supercomputing cluster completely dedicated to natural language research at USC/ISI.

USC/ISI is an academic research institute that is part of USC 's Viterbi School of Engineering ; many USC/ISI scientists hold research faculty positions in the Computer Science Department . The Natural Language Group is part of USC/ISI's Artificial Intelligence Division which carries out a wide range of artificial intelligence research.

USC/ISI is located in Marina del Rey on the Southern California coast, an excellent location convenient to beaches, restaurants, boating, bike paths, and shopping. Note: we are not located on the main campus of USC, which is near downtown LA.

Past Interns

Our summer program is well established! Past students are listed below. Several students (marked *) interned twice, and several (marked ^) joined ISI later as a PhD student, visiting PhD student, or research scientist.

Intern Publications

We always aim to solve interesting and novel scientific problems, and to publish the results in the best conferences. Sample papers that have come from past student internships:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I include anything in my application in addition to a statement of purpose and CV (e.g. sample publications, awards, certificates, etc.)?

A: No.  We will discard, unread, any supplemental material . We  only  read your statement of purpose, CV, and letters sent by your recommenders.

Q: Is the salary enough for a decent life in westside LA? What will the exact salary be?

A: Yes, of course! Our internship compensation is competitive with industrial internships. Housing is generally expensive in this area (because it's safe, beautiful, and close to the ocean), but definitely affordable with the salary we offer. The exact amount is yet to be determined (and will be stated on the offer letter), but again it will be enough for a decent life for 3 months.

Q: Where will I live during the internship?

A: Apartments in Marina del Rey proper can be very expensive but short-term rentals are often available in Palms, Culver City, Del Rey, Venice, and Santa Monica (these are names of neighborhoods and/or towns nearby and will help your search). You might want to consider teaming up with other interns; we will put you in touch. Increasingly, interns find housing near USC's main campus and take the free daily shuttle in to ISI. The method of finding housing changes over time; as of this writing it is frequently done via social media platforms: try looking for 'USC housing' groups on Facebook or WeChat.  

Q: During the internship, can I go to a conference for a week or so? Or a short vacation?

A: Conferences are definitely OK, especially when you have a paper there, but in any case there should be at least 12 weeks of work here (otherwise it's hard to get anything sizable done). We generally discourage vacations over a week during the internship.

Q: My summer break does not line up with your schedule. Will you still consider my application?

A: We can accommodate early/late arrivals/departures of no more than two weeks, as long as you complete 12 weeks of work here (see above). This should be sufficient to accommodate US semester and quarter systems.

Q: Can I keep working on the projects after going back to my own school?

A: In general yes, especially when you are writing up a paper on the topic. Most likely you will be logging in remotely to work on our machines.

Q: Can I survive without a car here?

A: For three months, definitely yes. Many of our past interns did not own a car while here, and they either bike or take a bus to ISI. Unlike other parts of LA, we do have reliable buslines systems here in this area. The famous Santa Monica "big blue" buses serve UCLA, Santa Monica, Palms, Venice, ISI, and LAX, and Culver City bus lines serve Culver City, Venice, ISI, and LAX, and LA Metro buses and trains can take you to downtown LA and beyond. Additionally, a free shuttle runs during work days between USC's main campus and ISI; this is especially convenient because many interns find lodging there. Furthermore, LAX is very close to ISI (10 minutes by bus) so air travel is convenient.

Q: Are international students eligible to apply?

A: Yes, we do take on international students (see past interns list).  For international students currently studying in the United States (F-1 holders), we will help you get an OPT or CPT status on top of your F-1, which is generally straighforward. CPT is largely preferred because it takes much shorter time to get approved but requires you to register for (at least) one unit in the summer. OPT usually takes 2-3 months to get approved, but you don't need to register any unit. For details about CPT/OPT, please consult your school's international student office. For international students currently studying outside the United States, we will help you get a J-1 visa. However, if you do not already have a social security number you should plan to come to the United States at least two weeks before you are to begin working in order to have enough time to obtain work authorization.

If we are forced to conduct the internship program remotely (e.g. due to COVID-19) you must still  reside  in the United States for the duration of the internship.

Q: I have other plans in the summer, so can I intern during Fall or Spring?

A: No, we only take summer interns (and they have to start within two weeks of our official start date).

Natural language processing and text mining

The natural language processing and text mining group is one of the smallest groups in the Department but over the years has consistently achieved high quality research outputs, attracted significant funding and trained outstanding PhD students.

Our researchers

Its roots lie in the pioneering research in NLP conducted between 1980 and 2000 at the Centre for Computational Linguistics of UMIST (one of the two founding universities of The University of Manchester). Since 2004, the Group has focussed its activities around the interplay of NLP and TM. Its pre-eminence in TM was recognised in 2004 by the award of major funding from JISC/BBSRC/EPSRC to set up the world’s first publicly-funded National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM), which immediately became an international centre of text mining expertise. NaCTeM’s ethos has always been to drive forward the state of the art in research, with results then being fed into the development of tools, services and resources (annotated corpora, computational lexica) of benefit to the wider research community.

NaCTeM researchers have excelled in community shared tasks and challenges, notably in BioCreAtIvE III, IV and V, in BioNLP 2011 and 2013 (for the most complex task of event extraction) and most recently obtained two first places in tasks of the 5th CL-SciSumm Shared Task 2019. Moreover, NaCTeM’s participation in DARPA’s $45m Big Cancer Mechanism initiative, in a consortium led by the University of Chicago, saw it produce in 2015  the top performing system for extracting information to support cancer pathway modelling. NaCTeM’s academic and industrial research projects range over many domains from biology and biomedicine to biodiversity, toxicology, neuroscience, materials, history, social sciences, insurance, and health and safety in the construction industry, with funding coming from EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, AHRC, Wellcome Trust, NIH, Pacific Life Re, Lloyd’s Register Foundation, AstraZeneca, DARPA, EC Horizon 2020, JST, the cosmetics and extracts industry, among others.

Applications arising from such research include Thalia , a semantic search engine over more than 20m biomedical abstracts;  Facta+ , to find unsuspected associations in the biomedical literature; HoM , allowing semantic search of historical medical and public health archives; and RobotAnalyst , supporting the hitherto laborious screening stage of systematic reviewing through active learning techniques. NaCTeM also collaborates closely with the Artificial Intelligence Research Center , National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan.

The research group leads the UK healthcare text analytics network ( Healtex ), is part of the Farr Institute’s  Health eResearch Centre  (HeRC) and has pioneered the creation of the ACL SIGBIOMED special interest group featuring the BioNLP workshops since 2002.

Part of the research group has also delved into text mining applied to social sciences. Our work on social media analytics underpinned by text mining techniques (eg: text classification, sentiment analysis, topic modelling, named entity recognition) has been providing insights into the social "pulse" on issues ranging from customer satisfaction, through to fair work and human rights. Additionally, we seek to enhance civic engagement with our work on the text mining-based analysis of Parliamentary data (eg: UK Hansard archives).
