Study programmes

The graduate of the study programme “Computer Science – Language Technologies and Computational Linguistics” is familiar with mathematical and algorithmic foundations of automatic natural language processing, with theoretical foundations of formal description of natural languages, as well as with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Graduates have the ability to apply the knowledge acquired during their studies in the design and development of systems automatically processing natural language (written and spoken) and large quantities of both structured and unstructured data, such as information retrieval, question answering, summarization and information extraction, machine translation and speech processing. The graduate is well prepared for doctoral studies in the area of computational linguistics and language technologies as well as for a professional career both in public and private sectors. Given the general applicability of machine learning and data driven methods, the graduate is well equipped to use these methods not only in natural language processing tasks (in technological companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, IBM, Seznam.cz) but also in other domains, such as any artificial intelligence-related fields, finances, medicine, and other areas where large quantities of both structured and unstructured data are being analyzed. The graduate is equipped with good knowledge, skills, programming and experience in software development and teamwork applicable in all areas involving the development of applications aiding human-computer interaction and/or machine learning.
