Graduate Students

CompLing Discussion Group

The CompLing discussion group meets approximately every other week during fall and winter terms. Computational linguistics covers a wide gamut, including methods for language processing and language learning, applications of those methods to the study of human language processing (theoretical psycholinguistics), technological support for the study of language, language technology in service of scientific inquiry in other fields (for example, bioinformatics), and language technology with commercial application.

See the discussion groups page for the current schedule.
