My dream is to develop things that help people.
Many applications in the future need computational
linguistics.
My name is Reem Alatrash, I’m from Jordan.
I’m Moritz Völkel, living here in Stuttgart.
Machines are part of our lives.
So we have artificial intelligence rising
up, we have cars that drive independently
more and more, and roboters.
We need to teach these machines how to understand
what a human is saying, what the human requires
from them and then how to respond properly.
We will need language understanding, language
generation.
And that’s where we come in.
So I started the idea to combine the passions
that I have which are both: programing and
linguistics.
So it’s a very interdisciplinary program…
Which is quite a rare approach.
Not just in Germany but all over the world.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Something that really combines the theoretical
aspect of linguistics and the applied part
with computer science.
The first semester is really about catching
up, bringing all students to one level.
So the second year is really for specializing.
Finding what you are interested in.
One of the things that I like is, students
can actually get some hands-on experience
during the lectures and you can also do an
internship.
We collaborate with the digital humanities
and of course the computer science department
as well.
There is super nice professors and teachers
here and they are really experts in the world.
You also get to interact with people from
different parts of the world and learn a lot
about their culture and…
Stuttgart has really nice places.
Actually it is a very very encouraging environment
for you to grow as a person and learn.
If you want to be part of one of the best
research facilities for computational linguistics,
if you want to help shape the future, you
should come to the University of Stuttgart.
