The Symbolic
Systems
Program (SSP)
at Stanford University
focuses on computers and minds: artificial and natural
systems that use symbols to communicate, and to represent information. SSP
brings together students and faculty interested in
different aspects of the human-computer relationship,
including...
- cognitive science: studying human
intelligence, natural languages, and the brain as
computational processes;
- artificial intelligence: endowing computers
with human-like behavior and understanding; and
- human-computer interaction: designing
computer software and interfaces that work well with
human users.
Symbolic Systems' affiliated faculty come from several
departments at Stanford, including Computer Science, Linguistics,
Philosophy,
Psychology, Communication,
Statistics,
and Education. Our students
are exposed to the tools of these disciplines -- formal
methods, philosophical analysis, computer programming,
and empirical research -- with the aim of being able to
apply the appropriate tool(s) to a chosen area of
specialization. SSP alumni are found in various
occupations, including software design and applications,
teaching and research, law, medicine, and public
service.
