M Phil in Computational Linguistics

M Phil in Computational Linguistics

MPhil (CL) is a two-year research oriented program that prepares students from humanities and social science background to enter the area of CL/NLP. The first year of the programme introduces the student to computational linguistics, and is also aimed at providing the necessary breadth and integrating the students with the instructional philosophy of IIIT. The subsequent semesters aim at providing avenues for specializing in one or more of the streams. All students are given research assistantships in terms of tution fee, hostel fee and the work they put in for various projects.

This programme provides students an understanding of natural language as viewed from computation. It prepares them to understand computational models and how natural language data can be prepared or analyzed while building systems. The programme is specially designed for linguists, language scholars, Sanskrit scholars and the likes. Students with a science or mathematics background and with a strong interest in the analytical or computational study of language too can pursue this program.
