These problems are representative of the diverse areas presented in the competition and designed with three principles in mind: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- To challenge the student analytically, without requiring any explicit knowledge or experience in linguistics or computer science;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- To expose the student to the different kinds of reasoning required when encountering a new phenomenon in a language, both as a theoretical topic and as an applied problem;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- To foster the natural curiosity students have about the workings of their own language, as well as to introduce them to the beauty and structure of other languages;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- To learn about the models and techniques used by computers to understand human language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside from being a fun intellectual challenge, the Olympiad mimics the skills used by researchers and scholars in the field of computational linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an increasingly global economy where businesses operate across borders and languages, having a strong pool of computational linguists is a competitive advantage, and an important component to both security and growth in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of problems is a wonderful general introduction to the field of linguistics through the analytic problem solving technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eA fantastic collection of problems for anyone who is curious about how human language works! These books take serious scientific questions and present them in a fun, accessible way. Readers exercise their logical thinking capabilities while learning about a wide range of human languages, linguistic phenomena, and computational models.\u003c\/i\u003e \" - \u003cb\u003eKevin Knight, USC Information Sciences Institute\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDragomir Radev is the program chair of the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO).
