<p>is the language department at carnegie well-known/good??</p>
<p>Not as far as I know. I think it’s mostly there for students that have an interest in language and want to use it to supplement their major.</p>
<p>in a fashion. Google: CMU Voice Recognition. there are some hits. </p>
<p>I was informed that the VR came from research from CMU. I don’t know if true.</p>
<p>Agree with above. I’m doing an additional major in Chinese and I’m also taking Japanese. It seems that there are few primary language majors.</p>
<p>Computational Language Research is a whole different story. They have an entire department dedicated to that, and courses about machine translation for instance…</p>
<p>^^^^ could you elaborate please</p>
<p>Language Technologies Institute (LTI): [CMU/Language</a> Technologies Institute:Research](<a href=“http://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/]CMU/Language”>http://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/)</p>
<p>The undergraduate majors in Modern Languages are pretty weak and the list of languages you can study is fairly small (basically German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Russian). CMU is well-known, however, for its world-class research in computational linguistics/machine translation, which is not affiliated with the Modern Languages (ML) department. </p>
<p>Minors in modern languages are also quite popular. I didn’t do the minor myself, but I took a few language classes at CMU out of personal interest. My classmates were music, drama, business, engineering, CS, and science (biology, chemistry) majors.</p>
<p>I didn’t think of it earlier, but if there were any languages not available at CMU that are at Pitt, I think you’d be allowed to take them there.</p>
