Description:
The capabilities of computational speech and language processing (SLP) have grown substantially in recent years, both in the research laboratory and in the commercial marketplace. There is now a wide range of applications for SLP systems such as automatic translation between languages (e.g. Arabic and English), automatic speech recognition, automatic answering of questions, text mining (e.g. from the web) and access to information through spoken human-computer dialogue. Systems which use speech and language processing are now in everyday use, through technologies such as internet search engines and mobile phones, and most major international computer and telecoms companies now engage in SLP research and development. As a result, there is strong demand for graduates with the highly-specialised multi-disciplinary skills that are required in SLP, both as practitioners in the development of SLP applications and as researchers into the advanced capabilities required for next-generation SLP systems. The Masters course in Speech and Language Processing has been carefully tailored to meet this training need, by providing a balanced programme of instruction across a range of relevant disciplines including speech processing, computational linguistics/natural language processing and machine learning. The course aims to give the student a solid grounding in the computational principles underlying speech and language processing as well as an understanding of a variety of current speech and language processing applications.
