PhD in Linguistics - Computational Linguistics in Ann Arbor United States | University of Michigan Ann Arbor

Computational linguistics explores the intersection of computers and human language. This field encompasses well-known applications like machine translation, speech recognition, and information extraction, but also extends to computational models of language processing and acquisition, grammar development, and working with extensive language datasets, including preserving at-risk languages. Steven Abney focuses on computational linguistics, with expertise in parsing and language acquisition. Ezra Keshet researches computational semantics, while Jonathan Brennan investigates how meaning is processed during comprehension. Drago Radev (School of Information and Linguistics) works on computational linguistics applications in information systems, particularly summarization and question-answering technologies. Richmond Thomason (Philosophy and Linguistics) explores natural language generation and dialogue systems, and Richard Lewis (Psychology and Linguistics) develops computational models of how humans process sentences.
