he University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia To Students Wanting to Perform With MeDr. Michael A. CovingtonAssociate Director, Artificial Intelligence CenterThe University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602-7415, U.S.A. Subject areas: The locations in which I direct investigation are: * computational psycholinguistics(the CASPR project), which is my predominant study area * computational linguistics(laptop processing of human language) * artificial intelligence(personal computer modeling of the human thoughts) * engineering when it is an application of one particular of these and, in exceptional situations, theoretical or historical linguistics and/or personal computer science and closely connected fields when relevant to my investigation interests. I do not teach or direct research in mathematics, philosophy per se, or astronomy(despite becoming properly known as an amateur astronomer). To students not but at The University of Georgia: In American universities, professors do not make a decision single-handedly regardless of whether to admit students. To be considered for admission, you have to apply and pay an application charge. We cannot ever offer admission to any person who has not applied for it. Please study the suitable departmental web pages to find out the specifications for the degrees in which you are interested. The most frequent weakness on the component of applicants(regardless of whether American or foreign) is lack of mastery of spoken and written English. Even if English is your native language, please note that all graduate programs require you to do a lot of reading and to write papers in excellent English. Also, be familiar with scholarly writing and with library usage. My psycholinguistics function needs lots of library study ? and by "library" I do not mean "Google." All degrees, including the Ph.D., demand course work(lecture courses), which are accompanied by examinations. Functionality in the course work determines possibilities for analysis work. I have worked with students in a number of degree applications, such as: * Ph.D. in Linguistics * Ph.D. in Laptop Science * M.S. in Artificial Intelligence(predominantly) * M.A. in Linguistics * M.S. in Laptop Science * B.A. in Linguistics * B.S. in Cognitive Science * B.S. in Laptop Science. In exceptional instances I also function with students in other departments. For instance, I not too long ago supervised an undergraduate honors thesis in the Division of Religion that concerned philosophical elements of artificial intelligence. The American admissions and funding process is designed to be fair to all applicants, not just those who have created personal get in touch with or expressed eagerness. Submitting a excellent application, with samples of your scholarly function, is more essential than e-mailing the professors in advance(unless you are particularly directed to make contact with them). To University of Georgia students: The students whom I supervise are selected for: * Certain skills and interest in a appropriate investigation area * Excellent overall performance in course function * Scholarly abilities(library usage, ability to create analysis papers) * Mastery of spoken and written English, particularly in computational linguistics(due to the fact you cannot analyze a language if you never know it well oneself) * Initiative and self-direction(because we can not teach you, in the classroom, every thing you will need to know). To work with me, you should be eager to select a particular piece of investigation and carry it out. Assistantships, funding, and paid positions: Only a few assistantships, if any, are directly below my handle. Click here for far more details. Most degree programs offer assistantships to some of their students. If you are applying for admission or are currently here as a graduate student, make sure you have applied for an assistantship, since if you do not, you certainly will not get one. In picking students for assistantships, we do our very best to be fair to all applicants, not just these who have personally contacted a professor. Assistantships are awarded on the basis of qualifications(including test scores, grades, and expertise needed for the certain assistantship under consideration). The Artificial Intelligence Center does not have paid internships, teaching assistantships, or paid postdoctoral fellowships.The content material and opinions expressed on this Web web page do not necessarily reflect the views of,nor are they endorsed by, the University of Georgia or the University System of Georgia.
