What is computational linguistics and language technology?
Computational linguistics is the interdisciplinary study of language phenomena
from a computational perspective. The goal of computational linguistics is to
model human language either for theoretical or applied purposes. Applications of
computational linguistics include programs/systems to:
- translate documents from one language to another,
- detect and correct grammar and spelling errors,
- automatically recognize and/or produce spoken language,
- search and retrieve documents or information,
- facilitate language learning, and
- many, many others!
