Introduction
Computational Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field principally combining elements of linguistics and computer science. Also relevant are issues in cognitive and developmental psychology concerning language acquisition and processing and various heuristic learning and search techniques taken from the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Through 5 decades of research in theoretical and applied language processing systems, the field has built up a well-defined body of results and a well-articulated set of research problems, culminating, over the last 10 years, in a period of explosive growth, both in jobs and sophistication. There are two immediate sources of this growth, first, the successful expansion of information technology into every corner of our lives, and second, a series of recent successes related to the advances in speech recognition technology in the 80s and 90s.

Position Announcement
