| CLA7101 | AI-Assisted Research Methods for Linguistic Data | 1 | 2 | Major | Bachelor/Master/Doctor | Liberal Art | Korean | Yes | |
| AI-Assisted Research Methods for Linguistic Data is an interdisciplinary course designed for undergraduate and graduate students who wish to conduct research using linguistic data. Through step-by-step, hands-on activities, students engage in the entire research process—from identifying a research topic to collecting and preprocessing data, conducting experiments, visualizing results, and writing an academic paper—with the support of generative AI and a variety of AI-assisted tools. Upon completing the course, students will be able not only to independently carry out the entire process of linguistic data research but also to effectively select and utilize appropriate AI tools at each stage. They will also develop the ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs and apply them to their research in an informed, responsible, and independent manner. | |||||||||
