SFB 340: “Linguistic Foundations for Computational Linguistics”

  • Conference paper
Informatik ’98

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

  • 120 Accesses

Abstract

The SFB starts from two assumptions: on the one hand a theoretically well-founded linguistic analysis is a necessary prerequisite for the development of computational linguistics and its applications. On the other hand problems and results of natural language processing provide new insights and challenges for theoretical linguistics.

Participating Institutions: University of Stuttgart and University of Tübingen
