This research group "focuses on applying both empirical and knowledge-based learning techniques to natural language processing, text mining, recommender systems, inductive logic programming, knowledge and theory refinement, planning, and intelligent tutoring."

Natural Language Group at the Spanish National Distance University (UNED). Research on natural language processing applied to information access, evaluation of information access systems, and acquisition and representation of lexical and grammatical knowledge.

An interdisciplinary research group at the University of Edinburgh with interests in dialogue, mechanisms of language processing, graphics and language, and technology.

An institute at the University of Edinburgh that focuses on research on communication among humans and between humans and machines using text, speech, and graphics, and the design of interactive dialog systems.

The primary research areas of the group include statistical information retrieval techniques, multimedia browsing and retrieval, and personal information management and retrieval.

A research group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Developing natural language processing tools using Machine Learning theories.

Privately-owned U.S. company committed to the development of next-generation natural language processing technologies including text processing, information extraction, question answering and summarization.

Specialises on custom built search engines based on natural language processing.

Main research fields are related to the use of multilingual lexical resources, information extraction from documents, design of NL interfaces, basic NLP techniques (tagging, parsing, sense disambiguation), NL understanding and Knowledge Representation. Tools and demos available.

Home of the XTAG formalism and treebank, this Penn research group is led by venerable computational linguist Aravind Joshi.

The NLG Group at the Open University is a research team focusing on Flexible Information Presentation, Conceptual Authoring and other approaches related to Natural Language Generation. The group is led by Donia Scott (formerly director of ITRI) and was established in mid-2005. Former research results of group members include WYSIWYM and RAGS.

One of the first computational linguistics departments in Germany. Research topics include language technology, NL parsing, computational semantics, and computational and experimental psycholinguistics. The phonetics department specializes in speech synthesis (TTS, CTS). Closely collaborates with DFKI, which is also located on the Saarbrücken campus.

Carries out basic and applied research in computational linguistics. Current working groups: Experimental Phonetics, Formal Logic and Philosophy of Language, ParGram (Grammar Development), and the Text Corpora and Lexicon Group.

"Research in modelling and processing human languages, especially for German. This includes constructing linguistic resources (such as lexicons, grammars, discourse models), processing algorithms (such as morphological components, parsers, generators, speech synthesizers, discourse processing components), and application prototypes (such as natural language interfaces, advisory systems and concept-to-speech systems)."

CENTAL is a Belgian research center specialized in Natural Language Processing. It is part of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain). Research approaches include corpus-based approaches to contrastive linguistics and digital language learning.

Research projects include ones on language processing resources and tools, logic and formalisms, natural language front ends, speech processing, automatic summarising, text and spoken message retrieval, natural language processing for formal specifications, and the acquisition of lexical knowledge and construction of multilingual lexical knowledge bases.

The Language and Information Engineering Lab at Jena University (JULIE Lab) was established in 2004 after the group moved from Freiburg University to Jena. The Lab's research focus is on automatic text analysis in the biomedical domain.

Group working on computational linguistics with a strong emphasis on constraint-based linguistics. Member pages and online papers.

This research group of the University of Southern California (USC/ISI) is currently involved in various aspects of computational linguistics/natural language processing.

The main objective of the Centre for Computational Linguistics at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven is to promote basic research in formal and computational linguistics, and the application of this research in natural language processing.
