Language Technologies and Natural Language Processing

People | Demos/applications | Courses | Publications | Master Thesis

We live in an information society where a large part of the information is produced under the form of unstructured written texts, using natural language. This is true for the society in general and software engineering in particular. Natural languages are not suited for direct computer manipulation as computers need tabulated data or formal languages. NLP research and applications aim at processing texts expressed in natural languages, in order to support information management. The technologies are based on symbolic as well as statistical techniques.

Within LUCAS, we conduct two research projects involving language technologies: visualization of events described in texts and and management of large amounts of textual requirements within the software development process.
