Computational Linguistics

Computational Linguistics is a field which tries to model natural language in formal rule representation, or formalism grammar. This representation can be categorized into phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourses. These models are implemented as softwares which can process language artifacts, including utterance, sentences, text documents, etc.

This language modelling has many purposes. In linguistics, we can use it to understand language process and artifact better. In computer science, we can make use of it for various applications, for example Information Retrieval.

In this field, IR Lab work on research activities such has:
1) Building information resources such as text corpus, especially in Bahasa Indonesia .
2) Designing and implementing formal rules for Bahasa Indonesia, especially in morphology and syntax level. .
3) Using them to improve IR system perfomance
