IDSC VISION

A College in the heart of the Third District that leads in educating highly trained graduates who can be
leaders in contributing to people empowerment, poverty alleviation and good citizenship in their communities
in particular and the country in general.

IDSC MISSION
To offer educational opportunities to potential community who can help in the intellectual, social, spiritual
and economic advancement of the community and country by offering state of the art facilities for advanced
and specialized programs in Education, Business Administration, Hospitality Management and Information
Technology.
IDSC GOALS
1. Act as academic agent of change towards the development of human and material resources in the
community.
2. Provide curricular programs responsive to the national and international standards of excellence which
allow graduates to be employable locally and internationally.
3. Effectively select students who can become dynamic leaders in the fields of education, business
administration, hospitality management & information technology, imbued with passion for the social,
economic and spiritual upliftment of the community.
4. Develop faculty, staff and students who can have a strong concern & involvement in global and national
issues that affect the well-being of the community and the country.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program is a four-year degree program
which focuses on the study of computer utilization and computer software to plan, install, customize, operate,
manage, administer and maintain information technology infrastructure. It likewise deals with the design and
development of computer-based information systems for real-world business solutions.

The program prepares students to become IT professionals with primary competencies in the areas of systems
analysis and design, applications development, database administration, network administration, and systems
implementation and maintenance.

The program also requires a Capstone project. It should be in the form of an IT applications development as a
business solution for an industry need.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES:

1. Students have the ability to hold progressively more responsible positions in the IT field, including
positions that are supervisory or managerial in nature.
2. Students have the ability Engage in life-long learning and professional development.
3. Communicate effectively as an IT professional with users, peers, and higher management.
4. Work effectively on teams, whether as a participant or as a leader.
5. Demonstrate ethical behavior as an IT professional and sensitivity to the impact of technology on
society.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Natural Language Processing addresses fundamental questions at the intersection of human

languages and computer science. How can computers acquire, comprehend and produce English? How can
computational methods give us insight into observed human language phenomena? How can you get a job at
Google? In this interdisciplinary introductory course, you will learn how computers can do useful things with
human languages, such as translate from French into English, filter junk email, extract social networks from
the web, and find the main topics in the day's news. You will also learn about how computational methods
can help linguists explain language phenomena, including automatic discovery of different word
senses and phrase structure. Over the past decade, natural language processing has been revolutionized by
statistical and probabilistic methods; you will learn about robust approaches to parameter estimation and
inference. Our work will include learning new methods, discussions, and hands-on laboratories.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the students are expected to:

(CO 1) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of different Natural Language Processing technologies and their
applicability in different business situations.
(CO 2) Use Natural Language Processing to explore and gain broad understanding of text data.
(CO 3) Use Natural Language Processing methods to perform topic modelling
(CO 4) Organise and implement a Natural Language Processing project in a business environment
(CO 5) Interpret the result of a Natural Language Processing project
