Computational Linguistics Research Groups at UT Austin
Natural Language Learning
We explore and discuss papers in the area of natural language acquisition and learning.
Forum for Artificial Intelligence
The Forum for Artificial Intelligence meets every other week (or so) to discuss scientific, philosophical, and cultural issues in artificial intelligence. Both technical research topics and broader inter-disciplinary aspects of AI are covered, and all are welcome to attend!
UT Machine Learning Research Group
Machine learning is the study of adaptive computational systems that improve their performance with experience. The UT Machine Learning Research Group focuses on applying both empirical and knowledge-based learning techniques to natural language processing, text mining, bioinformatics, recommender systems, inductive logic programming, knowledge and theory refinement, planning, and intelligent tutoring.
Linguistics Research Center
The Linguistics Research Center (LRC) at the University of Texas was founded in 1961. The Center is an organized research unit in the College of Liberal Arts. The LRC was founded and is directed by Dr. Winfred P. Lehmann.
Since its founding, virtually all projects at the LRC have involved processing human language with the aid of computers. The principal activities of the Center at present focus on Indo-European languages and comprise historical study, lexicography, and bibliography; staff members engage in several independent but often complementary projects in these fields using a variety of computer software.
The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of America
AILLA is a digital archive of recordings and texts in and about the indigenous languages of Latin America. Access to archive resources is free of charge. Most of the resources in the AILLA database are available to the public.
Texas Language Technology Center
TLTC catalyzes foreign language learning by exploring and implementing emerging technologies.
Cognitive Science
Cognitive Science is an inter-disciplinary field devoted to the study of mind. At the University of Texas it is pursued mainly by faculty and students in the departments of Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychology. There is an informal group which sponsors various University activities related to Cognitive Science. We welcome others who are interested in learning more about the field, and/or working in it.
