*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 [[https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/cl-announce][the list]], too.
