Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing research aims to design algorithms and methods that enable computers to perform human language-related tasks, as well as to use computational methods to improve the scientific understanding of the human capacity for language. Areas of interest at UMD include deep learning, human-in-the-loop machine learning, multilingual text processing and machine translation, summarization, computational psycholinguistics, computational social science, and more. Natural Language Processing research at UMD is highly interdisciplinary, and builds on the intellectual diversity of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) lab and the UMD Language Science Center.
