  • CSCI 5140 - CLASIC Capstone
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023
    In this capstone to the Computational Linguistics, Analytics, Search and Informatics (CLASIC) professional master�s program, we will review each student�s internship project and prepare presentations and technical reports based on those internships. Students will present their work on the annual Industry Day or at an Advisory Board meeting to industry representatives. They will also submit a paper to a relevant conference or workshop. Previously offered as a special topics course. Recommended restriction: It is recommended that this course be taken after the CLASIC internship has been completed. Same as LING 5140.
  • CSCI 6930 - Professional Internship
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2021 / Spring 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023
    This class provides a structure for CS graduate students to receive academic credit for internships with industry partners that have an academic component to them suitable for graduate-level work. Participation in the program will consist of an internship agreement between a student and an industry partner who will employ the student in a role that supports the academic goals of the internship. Instructor participation will include facilitation of mid-term and final assessments of student performance as well as support for any academic-related issues that may arise during the internship period. May be taken during any term following initial enrollment and participation in CS graduate programs.
  • ECEN 5930 - Industry Internship
    Primary Instructor - Summer 2022
    This class provides a structure for ECEE graduate students to receive academic credit for internships with industry partners that have an academic component to them suitable for graduate-level work. Participation in the program will consist of an internship agreement between a student and an industry partner who will employ the student in a role that supports the academic goals of the internship. Instructor participation will include facilitation of mid-term and final assessments of student performance as well as support for any academic-related issues that may arise during the internship period. May be taken during any term following initial enrollment and participation in ECEE graduate programs. May be repeated up to 3 total credit hours.
  • LING 4200 - Introduction to Computational Corpus Linguistics
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2023 / Fall 2024
    This course is an Includes extensive introduction (with lab) to the use of Python programming language, UNIX corpus tools, concordance programs, syntactic treebanks, propbanks, and corpora for linguistic analysis and natural language processing. discourse and phonology research. A major focus is the development of computational skills, preparing the student for CSCI 5832 (Natural Language Processing). Previous completion of LING 1200 or CSCI 1300 highly recommended. Same as LING 5200. Recommended prerequisite: LING 1200.
  • LING 4830 - Honors Thesis
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2024
