Overview

This Computational Linguistics programme offered by University of Gothenburg focuses on the application of computational methods to the representation and processing of human language. Research combines perspectives from linguistics, computer science, cognitive science, logic, mathematics, and artificial intelligence to advance understanding of language and develop technologies for analysing, modelling, and processing natural language. Students gain expertise in natural language processing, computational modelling, machine learning, and formal approaches to language.

Key Facts

The programme provides training in both theoretical and applied aspects of computational linguistics through coursework, seminars, and independent research. Doctoral candidates learn to design and implement complex language-processing systems, conduct computational experiments, and contribute to the development of language technology. Research also examines the interdisciplinary nature of the field, including its scientific foundations, practical applications, and societal implications, culminating in a monograph or compilation thesis defended at a public defence.
