Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Management

Development of language models based on symbolic, probabilistic and connectionist algorithms (neural networks) for Natural Language Processing tasks and for the extraction and representation of knowledge from texts

Digital Humanities

Development of models, methods and techniques for the preservation, intelligent use, linguistic study (diachronic, synchronic, comparative) and philological study of texts of historical and literary interest

(Bio-)Computational models of language usage

Development of (bio-)computational models of language use to study the processes governing comprehension, production, acquisition and variation of one or more languages, and the interactions between these processes

Language Resources, Standards and Research Infrastructures

Development and management of language and text resources; representation according to international standards that ensure their sharing, interoperability and long-term preservation in line with the principles of Open Science

The Cnr-Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale “Antonio Zampolli” (CNR-ILC) is part of the Cnr-Dipartimento Scienze Umane e Sociali, Patrimonio Culturale of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche and conducts research in the field of Computational Linguistics.

CNR-ILC is also involved in training, technology transfer and publishing activities.

Research groups and laboratories

ComPhys Lab

Basic research aimed at the development of computational models of language behaviour.

ItaliaNLP Lab

Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Knowledge Management through the development of language models based on probabilistic algorithms and neural networks.

CoPhi Lab

Models, methods and techniques for the preservation, intelligent use, linguistic and philological study of texts.

LaRI Group
