NACLO: North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad

The UAB Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) will be a site for the NACLO 2013!

The contest will take place on Thursday, January 31st from 9:00 to noon at the Hill University Center (HUC) Great Hall A.

What is NACLO?

This olympiad is a contest in which high-school students solve linguistic puzzles. In solving the problems, students learn about the diversity and consistency of language, while exercising logic skills. No prior knowledge of linguistics or second languages is necessary. Professionals in linguistics, computational linguistics and language technologies use dozens of languages to create engaging problems that represent cutting edge issues in their fields. The competition has attracted top students to study and work in those same fields. It is truly an opportunity for young people to experience a taste of natural-language processing in the 21st century.
