| # Computational Linguistics – Uppsala University | |
| The **Computational Linguistics Group** at Uppsala University (often referred to as **Uppsala NLP**) is a leading research environment within the **Department of Linguistics and Philology**. | |
| We combine computer science and linguistics to analyze and process human language, with a strong empirical orientation emphasizing multilingual systems, dependency parsing, and digital humanities. | |
| ## Research & Subject Areas | |
| Our research is driven by both theoretical goals—understanding human language processing—and practical applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Key focus areas include: | |
| * **Multilingual NLP:** Cross-lingual transfer learning and typologically diverse language modeling. | |
| * **Syntax & Parsing:** Development of algorithms for grammatical analysis, with a special focus on dependency-based parsing. | |
| * **Digital Philology:** Computational methods for historical texts, including handwriting recognition and cipher decoding. | |
| * **Machine Translation:** Neural machine translation and discourse-oriented translation models. | |
| ## Key Resources & Projects | |
| We are actively involved in the development of several major community resources and tools: | |
| * **[Universal Dependencies (UD)](https://universaldependencies.org/):** Uppsala is a founding node of this open community effort to create cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for over 100 languages. | |
| * **[MaltParser](http://www.maltparser.org/):** A data-driven parser-generator for dependency parsing. | |
| * **[Swe-CLARIN](https://sweclarin.se/):** As a partner in the Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure, we develop and maintain tools for digital humanities research. | |
| * **Historical Corpora & Models:** | |
| * *UU_SwedishNovels_1800-1940*: A corpus of Swedish literary novels. | |
| * *SOU-corpus*: Processed versions of Swedish Government Official Reports. | |
| * *DECODE*: Automatic decoding of historical manuscripts. | |
| ## About the Group | |
| The Computational Linguistics group fosters a vibrant international environment with professors, researchers, and doctoral students. We offer a specialized **Master’s Programme in Language Technology** and participate heavily in the global NLP research community. | |
