The NLG Group at the Open University is a research team focusing on Flexible Information Presentation, Conceptual Authoring and other approaches related to Natural Language Generation. The group is led by Donia Scott (formerly director of ITRI) and was established in mid-2005. Former research results of group members include WYSIWYM and RAGS.
CLUK is Britain's special interest group for computational linguistics. News, organizational information, and general information on the British natural language processing research community.
One of the first computational linguistics departments in Germany. Research topics include language technology, NL parsing, computational semantics, and computational and experimental psycholinguistics. The phonetics department specializes in speech synthesis (TTS, CTS). Closely collaborates with DFKI, which is also located on the Saarbrücken campus.
DFKI's IUI lab produces complex research prototypes with novel user interfaces but also has its own information extraction, dialog processing, and multi-modal generation technologies. Located in Saarbrücken.
Carries out basic and applied research in computational linguistics. Current working groups: Experimental Phonetics, Formal Logic and Philosophy of Language, ParGram (Grammar Development), and the Text Corpora and Lexicon Group.
"Research in modelling and processing human languages, especially for German. This includes constructing linguistic resources (such as lexicons, grammars, discourse models), processing algorithms (such as morphological components, parsers, generators, speech synthesizers, discourse processing components), and application prototypes (such as natural language interfaces, advisory systems and concept-to-speech systems)."
A group around Dick Hudson which meets irregularly to discuss Word Grammar, a lexicalized, dependency-based grammar theory he has been developing since the eighties.
In the area of human language technology, this defense-oriented not-for-profit organization researches computer systems that understand and/or synthesize spoken and written human languages. Included in this area are speech processing (recognition, understanding, and synthesis), information extraction, handwriting recognition, machine translation, text summarization, and language generation.
Formerly part of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), Maarten de Rijke's group is now part of the Informatics institute, still at the University of Amsterdam. Research within the ILPS group is aimed at intelligent information access, especially in the face of massive amounts of information. Addressing this task requires synergy between IR techniques, AI research, and language technology.
