The lab applies natural language processing to social problems and makes expert knowledge computable.

Associate Professor Shuntaro Yada works on research that applies natural language processing to social problems and implements it as systems. While building systems, the lab is attempting to turn expert knowledge into a form that can be computed. So far, the lab has built a system that summarizes and visualizes medical and clinical literature, and a system that supports school libraries. The lab pursues "computing for knowledge and language," which connects knowledge woven in words to the future through computational technology.
