About the role
Computational linguists are specialists who combine knowledge in linguistics and computer science to develop technology that handles human language. They often work on the development of language technology applications such as voice recognition, machine translation, and text analysis. Educational paths can include higher studies in linguistics, computer science, or a combination of both.Responsibilities
Computational linguists create algorithms to analyze and generate natural language. They collaborate with programmers and language researchers to improve and develop language technology systems. Their work also includes collecting and processing large amounts of language data to train and test these systems.
