You will master Abstract Computational Models such as Finite or Turing Automata with this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, which will allow you to increase your knowledge without interrupting your professional work"

In the technological discipline of Machine Learning, Formal Languages are key to perform an optimal Natural Language Processing. Such systems are useful for modeling the structure and grammar of different languages. In addition, they include the representation of grammatical rules, the definition of lexicons and the specification of formal semantics. This considerably facilitates the analysis and generation of text by intelligent models. To get the most out of these processes, experts need to update their knowledge frequently to keep abreast of developments in these ever-expanding fields.

To help them with this task, TECH is launching a Postgraduate certificate in Automata Theory and Formal Languages. Under a theoretical-practical approach, the educational resources will help students acquire new analytical skills aimed at solving computational problems. The syllabus will delve into the different types of Finite Automata, so that graduates can use these tools for aspects such as software verification. Likewise, the syllabus will provide students with advanced structures focused on the syntactic analysis of languages (among which the Derivation Trees or the Pumping Lemma stand out). In addition, the didactic contents will examine the Closure Properties of Languages in order to understand the relationships between different sets of languages. 

As for the methodology of the university program, it is taught in a fully online format. TECH is fully aware of how difficult it can be for students to combine such an academic program with the rest of their daily activities. For this reason, the technological institution eliminates both face-to-face classes and fixed schedules. In this way, it is the experts themselves who set their own schedules and plan their educational timetables. All they need is an electronic device with an Internet connection to embark on an educational experience that will raise their professional horizons. 

A university program designed to acquire analytical skills and solve problems related to the syntax of formal languages” 

This Postgraduate certificate in Automata Theory and Formal Languages contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies 
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will incorporate Derivation Tree structures into your projects, thus facilitating various tasks in software development and language processing" 

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations. 

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the academic year For this purpose, the students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.  

You will master the Closure Properties of Regular Languages in only 150 hours thanks to this revolutionary university program"

You will reach your full potential in the field of Theoretical Computer Science thanks to the most complete and pragmatic pedagogical resources in the academic market"

With this program, students will have a thorough understanding of the fundamentals underlying computation. The program will focus on Automata Theory, providing graduates with the tools to master aspects such as programming languages and system verification. Also the syllabus will delve into Context Independent Grammars, tools designed to describe the syntactic structure of formal languages. The materials will also address the principle of the Pumping Lemma. In this way, practitioners will use it effectively during their demonstrations to prove that certain languages do not belong to the context-free category.
