+ # Computational Linguistics – Uppsala University
12
 
13
+ 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**.
14
 
15
+ 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.
16
 
17
  ## Research & Subject Areas
18
 
19
+ Our research is driven by both theoretical goals—understanding human language processing—and practical applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Key focus areas include:
20
 
21
+ * **Multilingual NLP:** Cross-lingual transfer learning and typologically diverse language modeling.
22
+ * **Syntax & Parsing:** Development of algorithms for grammatical analysis, with a special focus on dependency-based parsing.
23
+ * **Digital Philology:** Computational methods for historical texts, including handwriting recognition and cipher decoding.
24
+ * **Machine Translation:** Neural machine translation and discourse-oriented translation models.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
25
 
26
+ ## Key Resources & Projects
27
 
28
+ We are actively involved in the development of several major community resources and tools:
29
+
30
+ * **[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.
31
+ * **[MaltParser](http://www.maltparser.org/):** A data-driven parser-generator for dependency parsing.
32
+ * **[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.
33
+ * **Historical Corpora & Models:**
34
+ * *UU_SwedishNovels_1800-1940*: A corpus of Swedish literary novels.
35
+ * *SOU-corpus*: Processed versions of Swedish Government Official Reports.
36
+ * *DECODE*: Automatic decoding of historical manuscripts.
37
+
38
+ ## About the Group
39
+
40
+ 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.
