Graduate Academic Certificate in Computational Linguistics

University of North Texas

Develop in-demand language processing skills to solve human-computer interaction challenges with language processing technology. Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) - often viewed as one and the same thing - are rapidly growing fields in the high-tech sector, critical for the development of such technologies such as voice-enabled smartphones (e.g. Siri, Cortana) and home assistants (e.g. Alexa). UNT's Computational Linguistics graduate academic certificate is specifically intended to address a growing need for language processing skills, particularly those associated with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence/cognitive technologies.Systems like Siri or Alexa are built on a pipeline of language processing technologies, ranging from voice and speech recognition to language understanding and automatic question answering. Developing such technologies is a complex process that requires knowledge from both Linguistics and Computer Science.
