- Natural language processing
- Technology for handling the languages people use, such as Japanese and English, with computers
- Legislative drafting work (hosei shitsumu)

Aiming to realize advanced information systems that use knowledge information and linguistic information, the lab studies knowledge processing, language processing, and applications that combine the two. The specific application area is the translation and management of laws and regulations.
*Illustrative imageSupporting the translation of laws and regulations
The lab researches and develops methods for automatically extracting candidate translation terms from parallel translations of laws and regulations, as well as a system that supports the construction of bilingual dictionaries. It also works on methods for checking translation quality based on the dictionary.
*Illustrative imageSupporting legislative drafting work
The lab represents the structure of laws and regulations, such as articles and paragraphs, in XML and builds a structured legal database. It also studies a mechanism that analyzes the sentences of amending laws to automatically create new laws and regulations, and methods for version management accompanying amendments.
