What is Computational Linguistics?

Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the statistical or rule-based modeling of natural language from a computational perspective. Computational linguistics was usually performed by computer scientists who had specialized in the application of computers to the processing of a natural language. Computational linguistics has applied and theoretical components, where theoretical computational linguistics takes up issues in theoretical linguistics and cognitive science and applied computational linguistics focuses on the practical outcome of modelling human language use.

What is M.Phill. Computational Linguistic:

MPhil (Computational Linguistic) is a two-year research oriented program that prepares students from humanities and social science background to enter the area of CL/NLP.  In the first year of the programme introduces the student to computational linguistics, and is also aimed at providing the necessary breadth and integrating the students with the instructional philosophy of IIIT. The subsequent semesters aim at providing avenues for specializing in one or more of the streams.  All students are given research assistantships in terms of tution fee, hostel fee and the work they put in for various projects.

Eligibility of  M.Phill. Computational Linguistic:

The candidates who are willing to study this discipline have to get minimum required marks of 50% in M.E, M.Tech. B.E, B.Tech with Work experience in an R&D organization / institute with at least 3 years of experience and good recommendation or M.A in Linguistics, langauges and other related areas. Sanskrit students or individuals with an aptitude in language analysis are encouraged to apply.

Entrance Exam  :  Post-Graduate and Ph.D Entrance Examination (PGEE)
