Information

The Centre for Language Technology's key aim is to facilitate the integration of Speech and Language Technology into everyday applications. To achieve this, the Centre is active on several fronts.

We carry out research on Language Technology. We give particular emphasis to work that is focussed on practical applications in the short and medium term, but always with an eye to the longer term underlying research that is needed to push the field forward.

We have a comprehensive teaching program in Language Technology. Students enrolling in our courses learn the essential concepts and skills they need to design and develop applications that integrate aspects of language technology.

The Centre is also actively involved with industry through collaborative projects.

The Centre for Language Technology is part of Macquarie University's Faculty of Science.
