Projects of the Language Archive:
|
| HZSK, Hamburg |
- (Advice on) corpus design and compilation, specially spoken language data,
- Software development (EXMARaLDA)
- Corpus distribution
|
Methods, tools for and distribution of:
- spoken language data used for conversational research (discourse analysis, conversation analysis, interactional linguistics),
- sign language corpora and lexicons,
- spoken language data documenting first or second language acquisition and language usage by multilingual individuals (e.g. corpus of child language acquisition, acquisition of second languages or language attrition in adults),
- spoken language data documenting social and regional variation of particular language (e.g. dialect corpora),
- written language data allowing the study of multilingualism (e.g. parallel corpora),
|

| ASV, Leipzig |
- Web-crawling / collecting texts from the web
- Compilation of reference corpora or electronic dictionaries in numerous languages (preprocessing and calculation of statistical measures like frequencies, sentences and proximity occurrences... on large amounts of data)
- (linguistic) web-services

- Semantic Web
- Text mining
|
In general:

Computational Linguistics:
- rule-based, machine learning and combined approaches to analysis and generation
- morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse semantics, prosody
- linguistic corpus annotation, lexical resources, representation and exchange formats, annotation standards
- multi-lingual tools for robust tagging, morphological, syntactic analysis (dependency/constituent structure), semantic role labeling, relation extraction, coreference resolution
- statistical machine translation
|
- parsing and generation: linguistically informed data-driven models and techniques
- tagging, morphological, syntactic and semantic analysis: model combination, improved coverage and quality, enhanced representations in standard training resources
- web service integration of a new family of data-driven analysis tools (lemmatizer, dependency parser, semantic role labeler)
- parametrization of analysis tools for more targeted application (domain adaptation, adjustment to non-canonical language use etc.)
