Description:
The main aim of the MPhil course in Computer Speech, Text and Internet Technology is to teach the fundamental theory of speech and natural language processing and its use in a variety of advanced applications, especially those related to the Internet. Applications covered include information retrieval, information extraction, dialogue systems, machine translation and question answering.
The course runs from early October to the end of June and consists of two terms of lectures and practicals followed by a project. There are strong links with industry and many of our past students have gone on to work for start-ups and industrial research laboratories, either immediately or after completing a PhD.
Cambridge is a major international centre for research in both speech and language processing. The course is taught by leading researchers in these areas who have active collaborations with industrial and academic laboratories in Europe, the US and Japan.
A number of studentships are available for qualifying UK and EU applicants. We especially encourage applications from students with a background in engineering, computer science or mathematics.
