DESIGNATED EMPHASIS IN HUMAN-LANGUAGE MEDIA AND MODELING

The campus has approved a program that will enable graduate students to have a Designated Emphasis (DE) in Human-Language Media and Modeling added to their MS or PhD degree. The DE, which is administered by the Department of Computational Media, is primarily associated with Computational Media, Linguistics, and Technology Management, but faculty and graduate students from all degree programs are invited to participate. The program will enhance the training of master’s and doctoral students in conducting research around issues relating to theories and computational models of human language data in a range of media. The program faculty from Linguistics are Pranav Anand and Bill Ladusaw. This winter quarter, there were two DE courses in the linguistics department (Linguistics 245 and 248).
