A Computational Linguist develops algorithms and models that enable computers to understand and process human language. You might work in technology companies, research institutions, or other organisations focusing on natural language processing (NLP). Computational Linguists apply linguistic knowledge and programming skills to create systems like speech recognition, machine translation, and text analysis. You'll work with large datasets, employing techniques in artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the interaction between humans and computers.
Computational Linguists play a vital role in advancing technology. You’ll need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of both linguistics and computer science. You’ll collaborate with engineers, researchers, and other professionals to develop innovative language-based solutions.
