science are encouraged to apply.
In addition to course work, students will work on innovative research projects,
for which they receive a tuition waver and competitive stipend. As part of their

Federal grants that involve the development and testing of intelligent tutoring
systems with natural language and dialogue facilities, of conversational agents
with speech generation, facial expressions, and gestures, and of other computer
systems that require natural language processing. For more information on the
IIS, see our website.
