CompLing Lab

The Computational Linguistics Laboratory conducts work that includes both computational methods for the study of language, and language technology. There are open lab meetings, a.k.a. the CompLing discussion group. Anyone with an interest in computational linguistics is welcome, from any department, and including undergraduates, graduate students, or faculty.
