Human language technology incorporates a broad spectrum of disciplines working toward two closely related goals:
- Enabling computers to interact with humans using natural language capabilities
- Enabling computers to serve as useful assistants to humans by providing services such as automatic text understanding and retrieval, information extraction and question answering, automatic translation, and speech recognition
The institute includes six research centers: the Center for Basic Research in Natural Language Processing, the Center for Emerging Natural Language Applications, the Center for Machine Learning and Language Processing, the Center for Search Engines and Web Technologies, the Center for Text Mining, and the InterVoice Center for Conversational Technologies.
INSTITUTE FOR DATA ANALYTICS
We operate a world-class organization in data analytics that serves the students and faculty of the University of Texas at Dallas as well as the external organizations that sponsor our work. Our goal is to provide extraordinary service to our clients, funded research opportunities for our faculty, and employment opportunities for our students.
CENTER FOR SOFTWARE TESTING
Director: Dr. Eric Wong
Website
The center’s primary objective is to promote further research and develop advanced cutting-edge technologies, with user-friendly tool support, for technology transfer. We will focus on closing the gap between the state-of-art research conducted in an academic setting and the state-of-practice techniques used in the field. We will assist practitioners, no matter what their previous level of experience with software testing and quality assurance, to be quickly brought up to speed on the necessary background knowledge and gain the ability to apply a cost-effective set of procedures tailored to their specific projects.
