Research
Computational linguistics, or language technology, is an interdisciplinary field dealing
with the computational modeling of natural language. Research is driven both by the
theoretical goal of understanding human language processing and by practical applications
involving natural language processing, such as systems for automatic translation,
information access and human-computer dialogue.

Research description
The computational linguistics group at Uppsala University has a broad research
orientation with a focus on multilingual systems, especially machine translation, and
systems for grammatical analysis of text, in particular dependency-based parsing. The
group has a strong empirical orientation and has been involved in the development of a
number of tools and resources, such as MaltParser (data-driven dependency parser), UPlug
(toolbox for parallel corpus alignment), Swedish Treebank (syntactically annotated
corpus), and OPUS (multilingual parallel corpus). The group is part of the Swedish
national graduate school in language technology (GSLT) and organized the major international
conference ACL in Uppsala in July 2010.
