Language and Speech Technology

This research group researches and develops computational methods for the comprehension and generation of text and speech. These methods are evaluated intrinsically their utility is tested in real-world applications. The group also connects these computational models to models in theoretical and applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, and communication studies and works with ‘big data' and methods that learn computational models from data, while at the same time the proper development of information systems demands a hybridization of data-driven learning and ‘rich priors' from the domain or context.
