Research unit - UMR 8163

Description

The STL laboratory is an inter-disciplinary research unit, gathering philologists, philosophers, historians of science and linguists. Our research teams share a common interest in language, form, meaning and knowledge. We have extensive expertise in Automatic Language Processing, annotation of structured linguistic data (e.g., oral, discourse analysis), design of electronic lexicographic materials, and translation (e.g., specialized translation).
