Language Technology University of Gothenburg

Overview

Language Technology from University of Gothenburg is a co-ordinated effort

by the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Our programme involves close collaboration between researchers who specialize in a number of different fields including linguistics, languages, computer science, and artificial intelligence. 

Quick Facts:

• Teaching is closely connected to research and is characterized by a focus on hybrid approaches combining theoretical and rule-based approaches with statistical and machine learning techniques. You will learn about linguistic theory as applied to language technology, and about modern approaches to language technology, from researchers who are actively engaged in developing current and future technologies. Our teachers are engaged in areas such as text technology and linguistic data resources, grammar technology and linguistic theory, and dialogue technology and spoken interaction. You will participate in hands-on practical training grounded in theory and research, which will enable you to pursue a specialist career in industry or academic research.
• The programme draws students from a wide variety of backgrounds including linguistics, computer science, cognitive science and philosophy. Do you have a background in linguistics, with some knowledge of formal linguistics or programming, and wish to understand how computers can be made to use human language, while also expanding your competence and becoming more attractive on the job market?
• Or have you studied computer science, and wish to apply your knowledge to natural language? Engage in a cross-disciplinary field with great job opportunities, and apply for the master’s programme in Language Technology.
