The graduate program in the Computer Science Department ranks as one of the nation's best and places in the top ten among public institutions. Students can pursue both M.S. and Ph.D degrees, with nearly all full-time candidates receiving financial support through assistantships, fellowships, or grants. Research strengths span multiple disciplines including artificial intelligence, computer networks, database systems, programming languages, software development, scientific computation, algorithm theory, computer vision, geometric computation, graphics, human-computer interaction, and bioinformatics.
Natural Language Processing focuses on developing computational techniques for language-related tasks and enhancing our understanding of human linguistic abilities. At UMD, research encompasses deep learning, interactive machine learning, multilingual text analysis, translation systems, text summarization, computational psycholinguistics, and computational social science. This work benefits from cross-disciplinary collaboration through the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) laboratory and the Language Science Center.
