Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field which combines mathematical and computer programming knowledge with expert understanding of natural language structures and practices such as syntax, phonology and semantics. Linguists working in this field help design and develop software applications particularly those involving translation, voice recognition and advanced search engines such as INBENTA Semantic Search Engine.

They use their expert knowledge of language patterns to understand the syntactic structure of programming languages and may work in multi-disciplinary teams with computer scientists, software engineers and cognitive psychologists. Their work also includes the creation and maintenance of machine-readable dictionaries, grammar rules and parsing algorithms and the development and maintenance of tools for the automation and support of linguistic tasks.

Computational linguists at INBENTA belong to this highly specialised field in which post-graduate qualifications are essential. They use their skills developing INBENTA's unique software and technologies, but also developing custom solutions and addressing particular projects for our customers
