What is Computational Linguistics

Chapter 15
Natural Language Processing for Global and Local Business
It is a subfield of the NLP, oriented to develop useful mathematical models to understand and generate human language from computers and other similar electronic machines. Taking this orientation into account, computational linguistics maintains a close relationship with the cognitive sciences, in particular with cognitive psychology, as well as the philosophy of mind and language. Likewise, computational linguistics has established close ties with statistics, which has allowed it to interact with innovative lines of research such as machine learning, which has had a positive impact on its work projects.

Abstract
This chapter presents a critical review of the current state of natural language processing in Chile and Mexico. Specifically, a general review is made regarding the technological evolution of these countries in this area of research and development, as well as the progress they have made so far. Subsequently, the remaining problems and challenges are addressed. Specifically, two are analyzed in detail here: (1) the lack of a strategic policy that helps to establish stronger links between academia and industry and (2) the lack of a technological inclusion of the indigenous languages, which causes a deep digital divide between Spanish (considered in Chile and Mexico as their official language) with them.
