Choose computational linguistics as a path to your career

Posted by Paparayudu on October 13th, 2018

Demand for computational linguistics:

The use of internet and computer are reaching new heights, especially, when it comes to local languages, new soft wares have to be developed and designed.Here comes, computational linguistics plays a vital role in bridging the gap between language and technology. Computational linguistics in mixture of computer science and linguistics. Computational linguistics develop computer systems that deal with human languages. In the past there was only one language I.e. English is used in the computers and cell phones.But in today's market, from ATM to soft ware related courses like online dictionaries, web translators are using the local languages. This revolution in technology is not confined to English language but depending on countries languages, to make it easy usage of internet computational linguistics are designing internet search engines, software programs, providing services like Facebook, Gmail or any English usages. Here we will give the procedure on Checking the BD PSC Result 2018 at www.dpe.gov.bd or dperesult.teletalk.com.bd/dpe.php

Goals:
In the field of computational linguistics there are different goals like, document translations, voice recognition, automated email, data mining, Google translators, machine translators ,grammar and spell check, document processing, information retrieval, CALL etc. To develop related software, mathematicians, computational linguistics and language experts have to work together.

Computational linguistics has cognitive and theoretical components. The language experts work on both components for the language outcome and develops the software that understands human language. They also work on switch to text and text to switch. In text to switch the computer understand the human commands. In switch to text, the software is designed to understand human language and through automatic translations, the text can be translated into different languages.

Voice interface designs:
The demand for this is growing. eg, voice emails software, voice gps in Apple, I phone, etc. One should have advanced knowledge in computer design to work in this category.

Machine Translation:
Designing a software, where the information or website information can be translated into different languages. Many researches are conducting in this field, but one should have advanced knowledge in software designing and Unix in programs.

Text mining:
The user find vast information in internet or online, but text mining provides the accurate information and categories the text.It benefits in the academic and business category.

Who can become computational linguistics:
Passed outs of BCA, Btech (CSE &IT), B.A. Linguistics, Bsc (mpc) M.A. Linguistics, English, M.sc Maths, Physics, MCA, MTech in computer science can join computational linguistics course. Many students are attracted for masters which is of 2 years.

All the IIT'S, Central Institute of Indian Language, C Doc are providing computational linguistics courses. Students learn computer scripting, computer environment, natural language process, computational linguistics, statistics, mathematics, language society, Advanced problem solving, descriptive mathematics, Algorithms as subjects.

Opportunities:
Computational linguistics is a challenging in technical field, but skilled linguists are in demand and are highly paid. Average salary is 20000 to 60000. The demand and opportunities are more in America, according to, US Labor statistics computational linguistics average salary is 000. PhD in computational linguistics will take you to the new heights in your career.
