Language technology is a multidisciplinary field. It often comes with the label computational linguistics, natural language processing (NLP) or natural language engineering (NLE). In language technology we study methods and develop models and tools for processing human language. This includes models for natural language understanding and human language generation also across languages. In Helsinki we focus on
- Cross-lingual NLP including machine translation
- NLP for languages with a rich morphology
- NLP for low-resource languages and in the humanities
Activities and news from our research group are available at our website.
