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.

Note: We have upgraded to TWiki 4.3.2. Please email linghelp@u.washington.edu if you find any problems with the new version. Note that I have not reinstalled the Redirect plugin because it never really worked right anyway. Everything else should work more or less like it did before.
