Natural Language Processing on the Web Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab applies natural language processing, in which machines process human language, to the web.
AboutAbout the lab
Making machines understand human language
The Natural Language Processing on the Web Lab studies technologies that enable machines to understand and process human languages such as Japanese and English.
The lab uses statistical methods that automatically acquire various rules and information from large amounts of text data, such as patent documents and newspaper articles.
It also studies applications of these technologies on the web.
Every week, the lab holds a lab seminar where students report on their research, and a paper reading seminar (rinko) where English-language papers are explained.
Key terms
- Natural language processing
- Technology that enables machines to understand and process human languages such as Japanese and English.
- Statistical methods
- Approaches that use probability and statistics to automatically acquire rules and information from large amounts of text.
- Paper reading seminar (rinko)
- A weekly session in which one person explains an English-language paper, and faculty and students ask questions and share their opinions.
ResearchResearch themes
Because much of human knowledge is written in language, the lab believes that if machines can understand and process human language, they can access most of that knowledge, which will support human intellectual work. Using statistical methods based on large amounts of text such as patent documents and newspaper articles, the lab studies natural language processing and its applications on the web.
