New Topic: Research Seminar

This course provides an introduction to research methods in computer science, with the aim of preparing students for advanced scholarly work and thesis research. Topics include the formulation of research questions, experimental design, statistical analysis, and the critical evaluation of scientific literature. Instruction also addresses scholarly writing, presentation of research findings, and effective engagement with the academic community.

Although the methodological approaches covered are broadly applicable across the discipline, natural language processing will serve as the primary domain for examples and the semester project. Students will gain practical experience in applying these methods through class activities, guided discussions, and independent research activities, leading to a project that reflects the standards of publishable academic work.
