Welcome to the UW Linguistics Treehouse Wiki On this site, we will create a repository of information about topics relating to computational linguistics, computational linguistics at UW, and probably other things, too.

In addition to this site, there is also a computational linguistics mailing list. If you want to be notified of comp ling events and discussions, subscribe to the list, too.
