EDIT: I lowered my bid. I'm sorry but I cannot work underneath this fee because I would lose my money/time.
If you cannot afford my consultancy I would recommend that you try to get your needed information posting your questions on social media (there are many discussion groups on Computational Linguistics/Natural Language Processing on Facebook/Linkedin/Quora) where you will surely find people who are willing to help.
--------------------------------------------
I have experience in the area of linguistics and machine learning and I can provide you with a short introduction to the field and where machine learning comes into play, as well as some information on possible research areas (both in academy and industry).
Finally, I can provide you with a list of major Universities in Germany that offer degrees in Linguistics.
I live in a German-speaking country and have studied and worked in this area, so I believe I can offer you the best information available. I propose that you send me a list of specific questions, I will then send you my document and be available for further clarifications.
Best regards --
