Language Processing Laboratory
Aiming to make computers capable understanding languages
Our laboratory aims to allow people – from children to the elderly – to receive the benefit of information technologies by developing technologies for accessing and operating the computer just with ordinary words spoken to it, like talking to your friend. To this end, we are conducting basic research on technologies to express and infer the structure of languages and the system of meanings, while applying them to develop a natural language processing system.
