Unleash your curiosity for language and technology with our Computational Linguistics Guided Research Program. Designed for high school and secondary school students, this program offers a unique opportunity to dive into the intersection of linguistics and computer science, preparing you for academic excellence and future careers in the rapidly evolving fields of AI, language processing, and data science.
This program provides a robust introduction to the core principles of computational linguistics, including natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, syntax parsing, semantic analysis, and speech recognition. Through hands-on projects and interactive sessions, you will gain practical skills in programming languages such as Python and tools like TensorFlow and NLTK, essential for conducting computational research.
We will guide you step-by-step in identifying a research topic that merges your passion for language with cutting-edge computational techniques. You'll learn how to conduct a literature review, design algorithms, collect and analyze linguistic data, and implement models that can understand or generate human language. Our experienced mentors, including Dr. Evelyn Moreno, a leading expert in computational linguistics, will provide personalized guidance to help you refine your research and achieve your academic goals.
The program culminates in the creation of a research paper that meets the standards of national high school research competitions and journals. Your paper will demonstrate a deep understanding of both linguistic theory and computational methods, showcasing your ability to tackle complex problems at the intersection of these fields.
