Interdisciplinary Certificate Program
in Human Language Technology
The University of Colorado now offers an Interdisciplinary Certificate
in Human Language Technology designed to provide a rich and broad background
for students interested in computational tools for human language processing.
This educational program is offered through the joint efforts of the Center
for Spoken Language Research, the Department
of Computer Science, the Department
of Linguistics, the Department
of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, and the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The Human Language Technology Program offers a Masters-level certificate,
which accompanies a normal M.A. or M.S. degrees in one of the four Human
Language Technology disciplines:
- Computer Science
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Linguistics
- Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
Human language technology is an interdisciplinary field that includes
key technological and scientific areas like :
- Computer Speech Recognition and Understanding
- Speech Modeling, Analysis and Processing for Recognition
- Natural Language Understanding and Generation
- Text and Audio-based Information Retrieval
- Web-based Dialog Agents
For more information about the courses and instructors of this program,
please visit the certificate program's web
site.
The Certificate in Human Language Technology is designed to promote an
interdisciplinary experience for students seeking graduate studies in
the fields of speech processing and language technology. As such, HLT
Certificates are awarded to students who fullfill the 5 course requirements
summarized at the
HLT web site.
The HLT Certificate program was established by CSLR an approved by the
University of Colorado Boulder to help promote an interdisciplinary experience
for students seeking advanced degrees in Linguistics, Electrical Engineering,
Computer Science, and Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. Here, we
summarize the students who have fullfilled the requirements and have earned
the HLT Certificate. Each student receives their graduate degree from
their home department, and the HLT Certificate is coordinated between
the four participating departments and CSLR.
