The Philology (Love-of-Language) Club competed in their first ever North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition!
"NACLO is a contest in which high-school students solve linguistic problems. In solving these problems, students learn about the diversity and consistency of language, while exercising logic skills. Professionals in linguistics, computational linguistics and language technologies use dozens of languages to create engaging problems that represent cutting edge issues in their fields."
These problems can include deciphering ancient writing scripts, identifying features of a new language, translating poetry from an imaginary language with a few sample phrases, or decoding and composing secret messages.
