Natural Language and Text Processing Laboratory

of the Center for Computing Research
of the National Polytechnic Institute, Mexico

Graduates and students advised by our professors are citizens of 9 countries

Since 1996, the Laboratory conducts research in Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. The research group, led by A. Gelbukh, includes the researchers I. Bolshakov, G. Sidorov, H. Calvo and S. Galicia-Haro and a number of students of MSc and PhD levels, from various countries. Some information about the lab can be obtained here and here (in Spanish).

Main current research interests of the members of the group include:

• Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD)

• Prepositional phrase attachment (PP-attachment)

• Syntactic disambiguation, grammars, and parsing

• Morphological analysis and generation

• Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG)

• Anaphora resolution, including indirect anaphora resolution

• Parallel text alignment

• Learning and applications of collocations

We organize the annual series of international conferences CICLing, participate in the organization of the international conferences MICAI and of a number of other conferences and journals (see e.g. here). We wrote a book on Computational Linguistics. Many of our publications (below) can be downloaded from this page.
