Master's Programme in Language Technology

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: HSP2M

The Master's Programme in Language Technology will teach you how to make computers perform useful and interesting tasks involving human language. You are eligible for the programme if you have a background in linguistics, language studies, language technology, and/or computer science. The programme prepares you for a career in the commercial language technology field, as well as for a future in the academic world, for instance, as a PhD student. The programme will give you professionally relevant training in the design, development, and assessment of language technology products and services. Applications involving language technology are more or less defining of our contemporary way of life. They include document search and filtering, automatic translation, writers' aids, business intelligence, and user profiling. The core of language technology involves methods for automatically analysing texts with a sensitivity to their linguistic structure and content. The challenges you will find in this field lie in the richness, unpredictability, and creativity of human communication, not least in the new modes of personal expression encouraged by social media. This work will introduce you to theoretical computational linguistics. Recent progress in language technology is to a large extent due to the developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The language of instruction is English.
