This class introduces students to the emerging field of computational linguistics. This field of
study includes areas of speech recognition, speech synthesis, automated grammar checking,
automated spell checking, automated language translation, and language acquisition aids. Some of
the topics that we will discuss are computer phonetic alphabets, dynamic programming techniques,
finite state automoton methods, neural networks, fast fourier analysis, and Chomsky grammars. We will also work
to enhance the ACORNS language acquisition software package.
