About Master of Arts Computational Linguistics

The university's and the institute's websites provide a comprehensive overview: https://www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/study/all-subjects/computational-linguistics/computational-linguistics-master https://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/english/programofstudy/ma/ The Master's degree programme in Computational Linguistics at HeidelbergÂ University covers the following topics: Computer science and programming Theoretical and empirical foundations for language modelling with formal, neural, AI, and/or statistical methods Algorithms in computational linguistics: the core of theoretical and applied computational linguistics Whilst computer science, mathematics, and linguistics provide a theoretical basis for computational linguistics, the central concern of the subject is the creation of algorithms to process and analyse linguistic content. Theoretical and practical elements of computational linguistics are inextricably linked, as theoretical insights are integrated into usable programmes. The symbiosis of theory and practice lends computational linguistics the character of an engineering science. The unique objective of computational linguistics is the development of linguistic algorithms. Computational linguists create statistical models or apply methods from artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve a particular technological result. Learning, research, and invention are key components of a computational linguist's work.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Bachelor's degree (or comparable) in Computational Linguistics from a German or recognised international university. Computational Linguistics has to constitute at least 50% of the degree. A Bachelor's degree in a strongly related subject (such as Artificial Intelligence) might also fulfil these requirements.
