    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_linguistics

    Computational linguistics is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the computational modelling of natural language, as well as the study of appropriate computational approaches to linguistic questions. In general, computational linguistics draws upon linguistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, logic, philosophy ...

  3. Human–computer interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human–computer_interaction

    The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) defines human–computer interaction as "a discipline that is concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them". [4] A key aspect of HCI is user satisfaction, also referred to as End-User ...

  4. Natural language processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing

    Natural language processing (NLP) is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and artificial intelligence.It is primarily concerned with providing computers with the ability to process data encoded in natural language and is thus closely related to information retrieval, knowledge representation and computational linguistics, a subfield of linguistics.

  5. Computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer

    A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation). Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks.

  6. Artificial intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

    Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. [1]

  7. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1][2][3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). [4][5][6] Algorithms and data structures are central to ...

  8. Computer language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_language

    A computer language is a formal language used to communicate with a computer. Types of computer languages include: Construction language – all forms of communication by which a human can specify an executable problem solution to a computer. Command language – a language used to control the tasks of the computer itself, such as starting ...
