[LRegroup][115] Admission to Research Programmes in Computational
Linguistics at Intl.IIT, Hyderabad

                 LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGIES RESEARCH CENTRE
      International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad 
                        (Deemed University)

    ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESEARCH PROGRAMMES IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS


    Language Technologies Research Centre (LTRC) announces two post
    graduate 
 research programmes in Computational Linguistics

   - 1 Year Post Graduate Diploma in Computational Linguistics

   - PhD (Computational Linguistics)


   The programmes primarily involves research in both theoretical and
   applied 
  aspects of natural language processing studies. Research areas being
  pursued involve morphology and grammar frameworks and their parsers,
  machine learning of grammar and lexical properties from corpora,
  preparation of  lexical resources, development of architecture for
  information extraction and retrieval, text classification, speech
  processing and relating Western  language theories with Paninian
  grammar and Navya-nyaya. The major thrust   of research is to build
  theoretical models which can be used for computer applications and
  investigate how language knowledge can be engineered to develop
  tools in areas such as machine translation, information extraction
  and speech synthesis. 


 1. ADMISSION TO RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

 1.1 Eligibility

   * 1 Year  P.G. Diploma in  Computational   Linguistics :
   * PhD(Computational Linguistics): 


     Both programmes consist of two streams.

    Stream 1: Candidates with Mathematics, Science or Engineering
              background (such as B.Tech/B.E. in any discipline,
              M.A./M.Sc. in Mathematics or Statistics, M.Sc. in
              Physics) and having a keen interest or aptitude for
              language analysis and processing can apply. The course
              is meant for only those students who have aptitude for
              language analysis.

    Stream 2: Candidates with background in Linguistics or languages,
              Sanskrit students or individuals with an aptitude in
              language analysis are encouraged to apply.


 1.2 Financial support for Research Programmes

    A number of research assistantships covering full tuition and
    living 
   expenses are available for PhD programme. 


 2. STRUCTURE OF RESEARCH PROGRAMMES 

 2.1. 1 Year Post-Graduate Diploma in Computational Linguistics

    Students are required to do 6 courses and a project. The courses
    are 
  selected  from the list of courses offered by LTRC. Subject to
  satisfactory performance, students can continue for PhD
  (Computational Linguistics).

 2.2. PhD (Computational Linguistics)

    Students are required to do the following minimum courses (7 in
    number) 

   * Programming - 1 (Scripting) 
   * Programming - 2 (Data Structure, DBMS) 
   * Probability & Statistics 
   * Logic 
   * Natural Language Processing 1 
   * Natural Language Processing 2 
   * Linguistics (half semester course) 
   * Indian Grammatical Tradition (half semester course) 

   They must pass a comprehensive examination in Computational 
   Linguistics, and produce a research thesis which advances the
   state of the art.

   A number of courses listed above are specially designed to cater to
   specific needs of students with background in linguistics,
   Sanskrit, and languages.
