General description

The study program in Computational Linguistics and Language Technology imparts a knowledge of the theory and practice of the automatic computer processing of language in both its spoken and – above all – its written forms. Those completing it are able to analyze issues related to computational linguistics, create language technology programs in line with best IT practice, and empirically evaluate them using annotated data. They have mastered at least one programming language, and are familiar with the application of machine learning, including neuronal technologies. Besides being well versed in the procedures of language technology, they have acquired an in-depth knowledge of a wide variety of topics such as machine translation, text mining, the semantic web, and parsing. In addition to teaching applied practical skills, the study program also gives an insight into the fundamental theoretical approaches of computational linguistics and language technology.
