CSLI supports research at the intersection of the social and computing sciences. It is an interdisciplinary endeavor, bringing researchers together from academe and industry in the fields of artificial intelligence, computer science, engineering, linguistics, logic, education, philosophy, and psychology. CSLI's researchers are united by a common interest in communication and information processing that ties together people and interactive technology.

The technologies of interest at CSLI, at the cutting edge of the information revolution, include natural language processing, voice/user interfaces, ubiquitous computing, collaborative work environments, handheld devices, information appliances, automatic language translation, conversational interfaces, machine learning, intelligent agents, electronic customer relationship management, and distance learning applications.

A primary goal of CSLI is to have a substantial and long-term intellectual impact on the academic and business communities involved with interactive technology. The center's industry research partners and sponsors have access to ideas, faculty, students, and laboratories. Partners can share in the intellectual property of CSLI, and in the governance committees of the center that establish research directions and funding priorities. CSLI accelerates knowledge transfer to products and services by involving executives and researchers in Stanford classrooms. CSLI partners can meet Stanford students studying in over 20 degree programs.

Course work related to the research at CSLI can be found in the "Program in Symbolic Systems" section of this bulletin.
