The Human Language Technology Center of Excellence and the Center for Language and Speech Processing will host two events in 2023 for the North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition (NACLO).

NACLO (the North American Computational Linguistics Open competition) is a contest for U.S. and Canadian pre-university students in which contestants solve compelling puzzles in linguistics and computational linguistics. Requiring no previous knowledge of linguistics, languages, or computing, these puzzles can be solved by analytical reasoning alone. They serve as a fun and educational introduction to a field to which many high school students have never been introduced. Winners of NACLO are eligible to compete in the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL), one of about twelve international high school academic Olympiads.
