The Computational Linguistics and Information
Processing Group (CLIP) at the University
at Albany, State
University of New York was established in January 2006 as part of
the burgeoning College of
Computing and Information, and serves as a cutting edge research
group, advancing all aspects of computational linguistics.
Mission: To contribute to the computational linguistics
community by encouraging innovation, enhanced research, and development
of technology products and services, and to freely disseminate findings
and results to the international community of scholars, practitioners,
and students.
Computational linguistics, as defined on
Wikipedia, is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the statistical
and logical modeling of natural language from a computational
perspective. This modeling is not limited to any particular field of
linguistics. Computational linguistics was formerly usually done by
computer scientists who had specialized in the application of computers
to the processing of a natural language. Recent research has shown that
language is much more complex than previously thought, so computational
linguistics work teams are now sometimes interdisciplinary, including
linguists (specifically trained in linguistics). Computational
linguistics draws upon the involvement of linguists, computer
scientists, experts in artificial intelligence, cognitive psychologists
and logicians, amongst others.
