M.Phil. Computational Linguistics or Master of Philosophy in Computational Linguistics is a two-year research-oriented program that prepares students from humanities and social science backgrounds to enter the area of CL/NLP.  Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the statistical or rule-based modelling of natural language from a computational perspective. 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 tuition fees, hostel fee and the work they put in for various projects.
