With this master’s programme, you will become an expert in developing and using AI to handle linguistic data, both in the form of text and speech, while also becoming aware of the limitations, risks and ethical problems of this technology. The programme covers a broad, interdisciplinary field that involves modelling human linguistic behaviour using digital methods. The application of AI to linguistic data has a wide variety of practical uses, ranging from conversational chatbots and machine translation to untapping the ever increasing amounts of data stored in the form of natural-language text or speech. The programme is designed for students with a background in linguistics, computer science or cognitive science. You will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of theories, technologies, and methods for analysing, processing, understanding, and generating human language. The programme includes foundational courses in linguistics, programming, and statistics, and it delves into the development of models and computer systems for natural language processing. Throughout your academic journey, you will be instructed by faculty who are actively engaged in research within the relevant fields, spanning from general linguistics and phonetics to computer science, language tech
