With a deeply interdisciplinary approach, the Institute for Language, Cognition and Communication (ILCC) focuses on fundamental and practical research in computational studies of language, communication, and cognition across humans and artificial systems.
As language-based communication technologies grow more prevalent, automated language processing research has gained critical importance. ILCC provides the UK's most extensive research environment with a robust computational emphasis.
Our key research domains include:
computational linguistics and natural language processing
speech and spoken language technologies
multimodal and dialogue systems
information presentation, retrieval, and extraction
cognitive modeling through computation
technologies for education and accessibility
data visualization techniques
