Projekt
GRK 715: Cognitive, Computational and Technological Approaches to Language-Centered Information Processing
Subject Area
Linguistics
Term
from 2001 to 2010
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 273311
The University of the Saarland and the University of Edinburgh are leading European centres in the area of language-oriented information technology and cognitive science. The central aim of the research training group is to build upon long-standing collaboration between the two institutions. It will establish an intensive programme for cooperative graduate study, with a clear focus on language processing and associated topics in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. Of particular interest is the advancement of interdisciplinary research that bridges technological solutions for language processing applications with cognitively-based models of human linguistic performance. More specificically, we emphasise the following research areas: language understanding (including spoken language processing and psycholinguistic modelling), inference and reasoning, knowledge representation, lexicon, and ontology, data-intensive language models (including corpus-based and statistical language modelling), dialogue and language generation (computational and cognitive models).
