What is
it?
The computational linguistics olympiad
is a contest in which high-school students solve
linguistic puzzles. In solving the problems, students
learn about the diversity and consistency of language,
while exercising logic skills. No prior knowledge of
linguistics or second languages is
necessary. Professionals in linguistics, computational
linguistics and language technologies use dozens of
the world's languages to create engaging problems that
represent cutting edge issues in their fields. The
competition has attracted top students to study and
work in those same fields. This is truly an
opportunity for young people to experience a taste of
natural-language processing in the 21st century.
Where is
it?
Brandeis Lab for Linguistics and
Computation (BLLC) has been hosting the
Greater Boston Area competition for three years at
Brandeis University. This
year the contest will be held in the Levin Ballroom in
Usdan Center.
