NTL

The NTL (Neural Theory of Language) project of the AI Group works in collaboration with other units on the UC Berkeley campus and elsewhere. It combines basic research in several disciplines with applications to natural language processing systems. Basic efforts include studies in the computational, linguistic, neurobiological, and cognitive bases for language and thought and continues to yield a variety of theoretical and practical findings.

One ongoing applied effort (called EDU for Even Deeper Understanding) has been in operation since July 2000, with multi-year funding from the Klaus Tschira Foundation. A major aspect of this collaboration has been the interational workshops on Scalable Natural Language Understanding Systems (SCANALU).
