Natural Language Processing at IBM is a dynamic research area spanning a wide range of topics vital for the development of cutting-edge applications of language engineering.
Our mission: To offer speech and language technologies that form the core of current and future products and solutions for processing natural language.
We work on theoretical issues of computational linguistics and develop technologies such as speech processing, machine translation, universal and application-specific dialog engines, information retrieval, text mining and hypertext databases, automatic text summarization, natural language understanding and generation, to mention just a few. One key goal is to provide advanced NLP software for multiple languages and modalities exploited in business applications. Another fundamental goal is to provide the sophisticated NLP technologies required to linguistically enable human-computer interfaces.
