The complexity of human language eluded researchers for many years. Recently, the development of neural networks and other advanced techniques have made it possible to receive spoken directions as you drive or to ask your phone where to find a good restaurant. Computer science students can learn how to use powerful computers and sophisticated software to analyze and process human language.
