Understanding the Mathematics of Language
Computational linguistics is a field that strives to understand language from a computational perspective. A computer that could achieve human-like facility with language would theoretically be able to engage in meaningful dialogue; acquire new languages and translate among them; and increase its knowledge by “reading” text. We believe quantum computers are particularly suited to such a field of study.
A computational understanding of language might also provide insight into how the human brain itself functions. Through computational linguistics, we seek to create a linguistically competent computer and deepen our understanding of the way we think.
Leading the Science
Professor Bob Coecke and his team are leading the way in the development of algorithms and software to create a linguistically competent quantum computer.
