Welcome to the ASU Natural Language Processing Group

Machine language,
human understanding

Natural language processing, or NLP, is specialty of computer science that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to allow computers to understand and interpret language just like humans do.


The Arizona State University NLP Group is led by the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU. We are a passionate group of researchers, faculty members, students and scholars dedicated to real solutions that improve human-computer interaction.

We work together on new algorithms that allow computers to process, generate and understand human languages. Our research interests are interdisciplinary and broad, seeking practical applications of NLP technology in social and cognitive sciences. We develop educational tools and techniques for use at ASU and beyond.
