Develop in-demand language processing skills to solve human-computer interaction challenges
with language processing technology.
Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) - often viewed
as one and the same thing - are rapidly growing fields in the high-tech sector, critical
for the development of such technologies such as voice-enabled smartphones (e.g. Siri,
Cortana) and home assistants (e.g. Alexa).

UNT's Computational Linguistics graduate academic certificate is specifically intended to address a growing need for language processing skills, particularly those associated with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence/cognitive technologies.
Systems like Siri or Alexa are built on a pipeline of language processing technologies, ranging from voice and speech recognition to language understanding and automatic question answering. Developing such technologies is a complex process that requires knowledge from both Linguistics and Computer Science.
