France's best Computational Linguistics universities [Rankings]

Below is a list of best universities in France ranked based on their research performance in Computational Linguistics. A graph of 591K citations received by 31.4K academic papers made by 79 universities in France was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
