Linguistics
Sproat graduated from
Distributed Morphology.[4]
One of Sproat's main contributions to computational linguistics is in the field of text normalization, where his work with colleagues in 2001, Normalization of non-standard words,[5] was considered a seminal work in formalizing this component of speech synthesis systems. He has also worked on computational morphology[6] and the computational analysis of writing systems.[7]
